I assume that's democrat--- not Democrat.

Lieberman for secretary of state
Powell or Petraeus for Secretary of Defense

[Perdogg]

There is on going thread about this. “Welcome to Party” - John McClain “Die Hard”

[sinanju]

Hey, if he wants to make Joe Lieberman Sec’y of State or SedDef, I’m down with that.

Otherwise, however, he’d better watch himself.

As for his “reaching across the aisle” pledge is... (deja vu, yawn!) I sincerely hope his learning curve is quicker than dubya’s.

[sasafras]

Thats it John way to screw over your base. Stupid is what stupid does....McLame is an entreched politician who claims he will shake things up, yet every time he attacks, its always at conservatives. Palin is his redemption, lets see if he allows her to share her views once she is VP.

[13Sisters76]

yeah yeah yeah. we know Lieberman’s gonna be in there somewhere...

Just PLEASE don’t make it Defense or State.

Put him in Education- more damage THERE might not even be noticed.

[LibLieSlayer]

Joe deserves a spot... as does Zell.

[Finalapproach29er]

A democrat Congress @ 9 % in the polls isn’t enough, now we have to put em in the friggin cabinet.

Really inspiring John.

[Dante3]

No surprise. McCain is a liberal Democrat. Even though there are plenty of decent, conservative Republicans, he is seeking out Democrats - and I'm sure it will not be Zell Miller.

[Leto]

Lieberman for State or Def is fine, Zell Miller would work for me also.

[dr_who]

Stop trying to screw up your own campaign, Johnnie.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

I see that you are new here, with a sign-up date of August 29, 2008---welcome to Free Republic!

And if McCain picks Lieberman to be Secretary of Homeland Security or Secretary of State, SO WHAT?

I can live with that, if Governor Palin is on the ticket and is positioned to become McCain's successor in 2012 or 2016.

[raybbr]

McCain Pledges to appoint Democrats to Cabinet

Thread already under way.

[TexasCajun]

MeCain/Palin 2008

[Jim W N]

democrat--- not Democrat

I'm afraid its more like DEMOniC-RAT. McCain is interested in politics whether partisan or bipartisan, while the rest of us are concerned about AMERICA!

[montag813]

Lieberman for anything = +1 Republicans in the Senate.

[theBuckwheat]

I appreciate the desire to be inclusive, except! Except, if we will recall that Bush kept a lot of Dems in the CIA and they worked to destroy his presidency. I would STRONGLY suggest caution and only appoint Dems if they can put country above liberal ideology.

But of those few who can do that, look how the Dems treat them. We only have to look at Zell Miller or Joe Lieberman as examples. The Dems have repudiated these two, thus demonstrating that when Dems complain that Republicans don't “reach across the aisle”, they are really only doing so in an effort to put party over country.

Arnold Schwarzenegger redux

[HarleyD]

Lieberman showed real guts to go to the Republican convention when a number of Republicans (where was Arnold) wouldn’t go. He’s ruined with the Democrats for good. I think this is very honorable of McCain.

[Lancey Howard]

I assume that's democrat--- not Democrat.

Ha!
My first thought exactly!
