SURFSIDE - Democrat Joe Lieberman, campaigning among Jewish voters in South Florida for fellow senator John McCain, said today he won't be the Republican presidential candidate's running mate.

There’s no reason to put a liberal in as VP in my opinion. There are plenty of true conservatives better suited for the spot. It makes it look like we are bending over for the dems, I think.
Neither one is strong for defense of the southern border.
Don’t forget that `Juan Valdez’ considered running as Juan sKerry’s Veep.
If he goes with someone likeminded, all it takes is six state delegations . . . .
If McCain doesn’t nominate someone who will “shake up” the ticket, then he can stick a fork in his side.
We need a rousing, younger, Conservative, not a sleepy, out of touch, old man. Nor do we need a tag team of RINOs in the WH.
Well there is an unusual comment to find on a conservative forum.
