Gore-Lieberman: A Hyphen Apart? Try Poles

Imagine for a moment the Supreme Court had gone the other way in Bush v. Gore in 2000. We would now be in year eight of the Gore-Lieberman administration. Well, maybe not the Lieberman part.

There’s nothing new about friction between a president and vice president (Franklin Roosevelt and Henry Wallace and Lyndon Johnson and Hubert Humphrey are but two examples) or between failed running mates (John F. Kerry and John Edwards are only the most recent). But rarely have two members of a presidential ticket gone in such starkly different directions as former Vice President Al Gore and Senator Joseph I. Lieberman. It is tempting, for fans of counterfactual history, to play out what kind of drama might have emerged in a White House under that ticket’s auspices.

Well it was a rather unorthodox ticket.

Is the NYT running this as a trial balloon for a McCain-Lieberman ticket?

more like Sore/Loserman...

The ticket was screwed up from the start, and the cloak was only pulled away on 9/12.

In a recent television interview he said of Mr. Obama, “I’d hesitate to say he’s a Marxist, but he’s got some positions that are far to the left of me and I think mainstream America.”

I wonder how long Lieberman would need to hesitate before he said what's obvious for all who care about politics?

Good times. Good times.
