Also, the Democratic leadership in the Senate, guided by the fumbling, clueless Harry Reid, froze out Lieberman from Day One of this session (this after Lieberman lost the Democratic primary in Connecticut, remember). So on one hand, he's making common cause with someone who is just as fanatic in supporting the war as he is, and on the other he's gotten the cold shoulder from his old party despite the fact they needed Lieberman to have a working majority. To me, his running with McCain wouldn't be a shock. <BR/><BR/>But even if he wants the job, and even if McCain wants to give it to him, you wonder how warmly he'll be embraced by Republicans. Some of his positions are anathema to the religious right, and again, you wonder whether choosing Lieberman will undo McCain's pandering to that group. No way of knowing, really, though the speculation is interesting.Dan Brekkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03261150572253464576noreply@blogger.com
