Lieberman and McCain are both good on the war and both bad on just about everything else.

Zell Miller spoke at the GOP convention....guess the dems are really going to the dogs....

If McCain and Lieberman ran on the same ticket, it could really shake up the impending coronation of Queen Hillary. Not that I'm advocating it. McCain has been a disaster on the 1st Amendment and border security. Lieberman has dutifully voted the MoveOn.Org line on everything except the war on terror, where he has been a stand-up guy.

But it would add a whole new dimension to the election.

"When others were silent, and it was thought politically unpopular, John had the courage and common sense to sound the alarm about the mistakes we were making in Iraq and to call for more troops and a new strategy there.

The first half of the quotation in the article sounds like Senator Lieberman was supporting Senator McCain for siding with Democrats. Early on it was the Democrats calling for new strategy and more troops.

[Philly Nomad]

Not really because it make so much sense. The folks who like McCain are pretty much the same ones who like Lieberman.

But on the flip side, if Lieberman decided to help anybody else, that would have been news.

Needless to say, Lieberman is probably the only person who hope the Senate stays this divided. The senate democrats are waiting to punish him.

[cripplecreek]

Not with republicans or democrats.

[pabianice]

Lieberman could have given the Senate back to the Repubs. He is no friend of conservatives.

[longtermmemmory]

not in the slightest. Lieberman only confirms mccain is a washington beltway insider and Lieberman and McCain show the senate is a effete elitist country club. (they the know how we should live betters vs the unwashed rabble)

He has voted solidly within the center of the Democratic caucus session after session on everything but the war. McCain wants to win New Hampshire, and this could help there. Outside of Lieberman's back yard, it's not likely to help much, and could remind Republicans of trust issues over the years with McCain.

Strange bedfellows indeed. Lieberman's lifetime ACU rating is 16.8 compared to McCain's 82.3. I agree that this endorsement will hurt McCain more than it will help him.

[Old Retired Army Guy]

Independents can vote in either the Dem. or Repub. primary in New Hampshire and Lieberman’s endorsement might bring some of them over to Mc Cain. Mc Cain isn’t that far behind Romney in the NH Polls and if Romney loses Iowa, Mc Cain might overtake him in NH. If that happens. it is a jump ball all the way until Fenruary 5th.

[PLD]

Why would he help McCain, Lieberman is a democrat (oh sorry independent-Democrat)that shows me that we were right all along McCain is Rhino and the Dem's would love to have him in the white house if Obama or Hillary does not win..Forget it I will never fall for this one..

[TomGuy]

Does liberal Lieberman help McCain?

Only among liberals.

Recall that McCain almost ran as the VP on Kerry’s ticket.

McCain-Lieberman-Kerry? Not a whole lot of difference among them.

[Dr. Scarpetta]

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

[azsportsterman]

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.

[Just mythoughts]

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.

[PsyOp]

RINO meets DINO?

[Don Corleone]

Not for me!

[org.whodat]

NO!
