Nightmare scenario: Candidate X choose Lieberman for VP

[WillyBrandt]

Just had this horrible thought I wanted to share.

Imagine if your Candidate--let's term him "Dlark" or "Clean" (I prefer the latter)--chooses Joe Lieberman as his running mate.

Not totally out of the realm of possibility, but it would make me cry.

1. Gaaah!

Then it must have in 2000, eh?

[John_Shadows_1]

2. wouldn't be too bad...

... be a complimentary influence to someone like Dean. We could give 'em the ol' left-right.

[WillyBrandt]

4. Lieberman isn't so much "right" as "down"

[Cha]

8. Dean would never choose lieberman...

so I ain't worried a freakin' farthing.

[pruner]

3. I think that's pretty far outside the realm of possibility

Lieberman is the "pro-war" candidate…

now if you wanna talk about Gephardt choosing him…

5. Dammit. I'm going to have trouble sleeping now.

Bastard.

6. I will give them more credit than choosing a

loser like lie berman. he's already lost and I don't care how many votes Gore got ..it wasn't for ol holy joe.

9. I don't think Lieberman "works and plays well with others"

in the 2004 campaign - not enough for this scenario to come true.

Why choose a VP candidate who "lost" (that's in quotes, folks) the last election?

[skibunny4dean]

10. I still think...

Hillary would be an ideal VP.

[WillyBrandt]

11. We need to peel off a few wingnuts here and there

She's Kryptonite to them. There's nothing she can do for us that other candidates can't.

12. Fine with me.

Lieberman hasn't been so Zell Miller-like against Democrats since he got beat down for it earlier in the campaign.

And, I honestly like the guy when he's not attacking Democrats.

[Rowdyboy]

13. After the 2000 election

there's no way Lieberman will be on the ticket. His was the most disasterously horribly run by a major party candidate in my lifetime-including Dan Quayle.

14. Hrmmm in this case I just start making vice president jokes...

You know that story about the two brothers one went out to sea and one became vice president, neither were ever heard from again. HA HA that's funny, ha ha.

[Cascadian]

15. Lieberman in my view is toast.

It won't happen. I honestly believe that the DLC were hoping that he would become the nominee but he has blown that chance. I honestly think they are backing Wesley Clark in hopes that he will scuttle Howard Dean but that has not happened.

17. Let's turn it around

What if...

repugs crossover in droves and holy joe gets the nom. (:puke: x 100).

Would you want your candidate to be his vp?
