I think if McCain wins the nomination he's going to pick Lieberman for VP.

[alphafemale]

That horrible thought dawned on me the other day.

Lieberman seems to be determined to be an supernova asshole of the Nth magnitude.

1. Well, I've never had occasion to use this smiley before...

...but I'll use it now. :puke:

[glowing]

2. no, I think its going to be Charlie Crist..

[Lucinda]

3. I know he's from Florida, but I dont know much about him...

What does he bring to the equation to balance Mc Cain?

I've heard rumbling that Rice might end up on the ticket if Hillary gets the nom...but it may just be smoke. No reputable source...

[glowing]

5. He's wildly popular among a lot of republicans and democrats.. don't ask

me why.. But he has a 70% approval rating... He's really not bad.. wish he was a D, but D doesn't get you too far in Florida.... He would be an asset to ofset the "old" McCain.

[Lucinda]

7. Thanks.

Will keep an eye on him. The polling for the Florida primary looks like a nailbiter for the Reps. I wasn't paying attention. I didn't realize it was so close.

15. Rice:

I believe that she has been discussed in the context of possibly uniting two groups within the Bush sub-party. The older Bushites want Romney and view Rice as pleasant but ineffective; the younger people view Romney as incapable -- strange considering he is what W might have been, had he been sober in his youth -- but think Rice in the OVP could run foreign policy.

18. Nominating a woman (Rice or Dole) would be a shrewd move

If Hillary is the nominee, she would not be the only woman on the ballot any more. Hell, Condi would be black and female!

I think Condi Rice is a nightmare, btw. And I don't think she would connect with the voters.

However, Elizabeth Dole would be a very formidable opponent as VP.

[Lucinda]

21. That makes sense....With all the apparent ideological divisions right now, anyone

that can bridge the divides is going to get consideration.

Plus, if Hillary is the nom, Rice on the ticket might keep some disgruntled Rep women, and some Indy voters, from going Dem this time around.

8. Closet case.

Isn't that a potential problem?

[glowing]

9. Nah, hasn't been so far.. and any time someone gets close.. they

pull out the "secret daughter" thing.. so, people stop speculating..

[JI7]

4. i think it will be Lieberman also, it will be his way of getting back at the

ones who supported Bush over him in 2000. he probably wont get some of the Republicans anyways so he might hope to make it up by getting some Dems with Lieberman on the ticket.

that's also why Lieberman is probably supporting him right now.

[BlueStater]

6. Lieberworm is useless and would add nothing to the ticket n/t

[DrDan]

10. Lieberman could not deliver Florida - what possible advantage

could he bring to the ticket?

Connecticut?
Moderate Dems?

no way will he be on the ballot

[BlueManDude]

11. Liberman is only popular with the DC pundit nimrods - he's despised everywhere else.

[rucky]

12. I hope he does.

He'll lose more GOP partisan votes than he'll win from crossover.

[Ravy]

13. I think he will feel the need to put in a conservative like Brownback. nt

[DrFunkenstein]

14. I Want Zell Miller!

Where's my spitballs!?!

[H2O Man]

16. I believe

that Lieberman would be on McCain's short list.

[onenote]

17. never going to happen

For all his faults, and he has many, Lieberman is pro-choice and the chances that the repubs will have a pro-choice candidate on the ticket are exactly, precisely, unequivocally zero.

[mtnester]

22. You got that right

understand folks, they will USE him, but NEVER trust him....and CERTAINLY never REALLY invite him into their club.

No way..ain't gonna happen.

[DemReadingDU]

19. spouse says the same thing

McCain/Lieberman vs. Clinton/?

BTW, spouse is leaning towards Obama, and I'm undecided since Biden is out

[saltpoint]

20. If that happens -- and it could -- it will be a distinct, resonant pleasure to

nominate in Denver a ticket that will beat the living crap out of the GOP.

[Raine]

23. Lieberman sure didn't help Gore

if MacCain picks him he better not count on him delivering anything.

[ecstatic]

24. Good. The kiss of death for McCain and good riddance

to both losers.
