If McSame picks LIEberman for his VP
We could get to see LIEberman loose the Vice Presidency for the second time in 8 years!

How sweet is that?

1. Nice, LIEberman is a whiny sore loser like Hillary is appearing to be.

2. Even McCain can't be that stupid. He needs to shore up his base with someone
very conservative. Lieberman is admired by noone.

3. It would be nice
But both parties know that Joementum is like a 12ft speed bump.

At the same time though, a McCain-Lieberman matchup is a popular topic around the web, and some magazine pundits think it's a great idea.

6. I completely agree
Lieberman will have probably angle for the number 3 position in the federal government and won't have to worry about getting trounced in 2012.

7. That's our Joe
Abandoning the seat he won out from under "his" party and leaving it to Republicans. I hope McCain tells him to piss up a rope and the Dems at long last strip him of his committee assignments. And move his office to a closet behind the boiler.

8. If this does come to pass...(a very big IF)
the MSM, will wet themselves talking about the "bipartisan" nature of a McCain cabinet.

5. There is no way this will happen...
McCain needs a younger person to deal with the age issue and brings a swing state and/or demographic into play . Lieberman does neither and you'll just have two old white guys versus Obama and who ever he picks.

9. He didn't actually LOSE the first time.
But it definitely was the one silver lining in the Supreme Court Coup of 12/12/2000, that Holy Joe was never allowed to take office. It may have saved Al Gore's life. :scared:

(Not that Joe himself would have done anything. But PNAC would have realized that LIEberman was just as open to their agenda as Chimpy turned out to be, and would have wanted him in place by the time they kicked the agenda into gear "after Labor Day". )
