I trust Joe Lieberman infinitly more than I trust some Republicans. He had the balls to run as an independent in one of the most liberal states in the country and beat Ned LaMont, who was the party’s choice.

In winning, he totally blew the theory that the 2006 election was a referendum on the war!

Yes, he’s a social liberal, yet he’s on our side on the important issue of national defense. I like him, and I would take him as VP any day over a Obama White House. Whatever it takes to beat Obama is fine by me.

I call BS. Sounds like a Dem script for disheartening conservatives.

No. Please no. Please. No.

Lieberman's ACU rating in 2007 was 8.

Obama's was 7.

A week or so ago, I had a dream that this happened. :(
Wouldn’t put it past the bipartisan maverick to do something like running with a Dem. But what good would it do him?

Competing trial balloons—first Romney, then Pawlenty, Romney again, and now Lieberman. This really is getting old...

I’m currently planning on joining the ‘Getdrunkandvote4McCain’ crowd.

Lieberman as VP would push me in to the ‘VoteObamaandhopeitisn’tallbad’ crowd.

I really can't see this happening. I think it's some sort of joke. McCain just won't do that.

I smell BS. The two camps are spreading rumors about their VP picks in an attempt to goad their opponent into making a hasty, and most likely poor, decision about their own VP pick.

McCain MUST pick a woman, IMHO.

This is what happens when the various factions of the party all insist on voting for their ideal candidate in the primaries. The moral of the story is that a good way to get the opposite of what you want is to insist on full and complete satisfaction of all your requirements.

United we stand. Divided we fall.

“Whatever it takes to beat Obama is fine by me.”

McCain should pick Hillary then.

McCain must pick a woman

That's the worst advice yet.

I do not believe this. ABC is trying to influence things again.

However,FWIW, if McCain were to do this, he would absolutely lose my support and vote...which is being given very reluctantly as it is and only in an effort to defeat Obama.

But by putting an abortionist on the ticket with him, one heart beat from the Presidency, he would lose what I am willing to do.

Lieberman McCain's VEEP choice? Nah.

Too conservative.

(only kidding)

This is a red herring. McCain will pick hopefully pick someone who is a telegenic live wire, and who has nothing to do with the Congress.

Not even John McCain is that arrogant or stupid.

I respectfully disagree.

John McCain is that arrogant.

But John McCain is not that stupid.
