1. They would have been a lot stronger I fear had they picked Lieberman.

3. But the base would have hated them.

Gotta appease that base :eyes:

9. Nah. That would have alienated the base.

Palin at least gets them to the 33% mark of people who are insane.

10. No they wouldn't have....

they would have lost the fundie vote. Leiberman is pro choice.

They wouldn't have picked up enough independents to fill that gap.

2. Anyone have that hilarious painting of Lieberman crying as...

...McCain picks Palin at the ball?

It would be the perfect topic for it.

8. I think McSame would've been

smarter if he had chosen Rice instead. As much as I don't like her, she is intelligent and very experienced especially in foreign affairs. And if he wanted to get women's vote, namely with his party, Rice would have been a lot more appealing.

12. Is he including himself there?

That's sad.

13. The Days of Joe are almost over.

Thank the Chocolate Jesus.
