Does Lieberman Help McCain?

McCain may have had a chance at the nomination if he hadn’t been obsessed with amnesty for illegals and torture.

[Old Retired Army Guy]

He’s supporting Mc Cain because they share a common value about the war. Also, all of the Dem. candidates bailed on him when he lost the Dem. primary and ran as an Independent. Notable was the other State Senator from Conn., Chris Dodd.

Moderates LOVE McCain. The Dems are looking for someone closer to the center, and a McCain Lieberman ticket would make them giddy with relief; they wouldn’t have to vote for Hillary or Obama.

McCain has no chance of winning the Republican nomination; but he polls very well in the center.

He could capture enough moderate dem, moderate republicans, and a lot of the independent vote that doesn’t like either party’s candidates to really shake things up.

I smell an independent run.

I keep hearing and reading how much these two are in support of stopping terrorism. However, neither of them have yet told the liberal mooolahs to sit down and shut up. McCain IMHO, cause as much harm when he threw his two year old temper tantrum when he DEMANDED legislation over torture. HOW dare he make such subliminal accusation of our military.

[DManA]

No, he’s pure liberal.

[PsyOp]

RINO meets DINO?

[DManA]

That would cap a career of betraying his party.

I smell an independent run.

[Don Corleone]

Not for me!

[org.whodat]

NO!

[mosquitobite]

You forgot potentially Dr Paul running as a Libertarian. A possible 4 way race! What chaos!

[PLD]

The Dem's are all so ignorant they don’t know who they are for..As for Lieberman I think he is part of the old democrat party he just got mixed up with the criminals like Clinton's and the Gores and lost his pride..I do not like it that he would back the wimp cry baby McCain..

No. The endorsement only reminds good Republicans what a treacherous, back-stabbing snake McCain has been during the last eight years. And it won’t get him ANY Democrat votes—well, MAYBE a few Jewish democrats who understand that an American strategic defeat in Iraq is the beginning of the end for Israel. But most American Jews don’t really care about Israel any more. The generation that did is going fast.
