Well, first off,I think the McCain and Lieberman actually have a friendship (unlike most politically useful ticket match-ups). I think they’ve both used their entire careers to do not what their parties think they should do but what they think is RIGHT, so I just personally really like them.

What I also like is WINNING. And what I see are a LOT of angry Hillary lovers (I like to spy on their posts in unusual spots… especially perezhilton.com, where the readers tend to skew young and liberal). Well, they aren’t happy with Biden, and they are still mad about HIllary getting dissed (in their view). I see a perfect opportunity open right up for us. We exploit that the Dems chose a VP who criticizes Obama (esp. after Obama claims that he didn’t want Hillary for veep because he wanted someone who would not try to overstep their roll… Biden undermines that with his doubts about Obama from the jump!), and we offer a viable alternative for all those who really see Obama as a media-driven, empty suit polished and packaged and adored by the media (you’d be surprised how many young people can see through the bull!)

At any rate, I feel like conservatives are not only voting FOR McCain, but there are plenty just voting AGAINST Obama. So that sort of secures the base, no matter how much the conservative ultra-right complain about it. Whatever happens, they AREN’T voting FOR Obama, and I don’t think they can in good conscience not do all they can to keep him out (which means voting for McCain whether they like him or not).

So, that leaves the big, wide middle and attracting all those independent voters. There isn’t a ticket on earth more attractive to independent thinkers (people who can’t commit to one party even) then a ticket that has both a Rep AND a Dem– the ones who have proven track records of working across the aisles, not toe-ing the party line. I think it is a match made in heaven, and if the dems continue the in-fighting through the convention, there will be A LOT of middle-of-the-road democrats left out in the cold. What better way to help them see the light?

THe ottom line, there would be no better “in your face” to the big, shiny “Ticket O’Change” Obama offers. YOu want change? The Repubs are running a ticket that crosses party lines. now THAT is change!

There are some very bitter people in the Democratic Party right now…like half of the 18 million people who voted for Hillary. When HRC gives her speech this week, those voters are going to watch their dream go down in flames. Lieberman would be a good choice in some ways, but think about it:
–That would give you four sitting Senators as the major party nominees
–All are career legislators…not one person with any management skill set. All individuals who have spent their entire lives in governmnent.
– so PLEASE: can we have at least one person from the private sector!! Let’s face it, the economy does need help.

Carly Fiorina would be an incredible choice for VP: former CEO of a DOW company, one with huge international exposure. And I would just LOVE to hear the Dems suggest that she lacks the requisite background for the job…..she would bring more executive experience than the other three nominees combined (actually, that’s kind of frightening…)

Fiorina is sharp, articulate, and attractive…and trust me: those disgruntled Dems would flock to the GOP in droves, and Fiorina would quickly be the star of the entire group. Pro-growth, pro-business, pro-jobs, Reagan economic policies.

Listen nitwit…err nicfit that is. There’s no way McCain wins if he picks Joe.
The only things Lieberman agrees with us on
are Israel and the War on Terror. If he were to pick Joe he’d lose sooo much of the base he would lose the election. And how can you call Lieberman a fiscal conservative….he votes Dem on social issues and those issue’s ain’t cheap!

I know…eggs…but maybe your wife?..if not, look around for breakfast

and read a few of their comments. They are all drooling about Joe Biden. Apparently Obama can do NO wrong in their eyes. One wonders if they even know where Biden stands on things like Iraq. They are also pretty gleeful at the prospect that “the Rethugs are running scared now! Joe’s got them on the ropes!” And other such witticisms.

They must not venture out much beyond their hemp patches.

Not interested.

At least during the campaign he did.

…you had Rudy and McCain and Huckabee and Mitt all peaking at the same time and the debate moderators basically ignored the rest of the candidates…heck the first couple debates that Fred was in RonPaul RonPaul RonPaul got more questions than him. Too big of a field with too many “front runners”.

So with all that said I think in a one on one debate he would bi*#@ slap Biden on a regular basis.

Sure, the nutroots will support Biden, but then the nutroots would apologize for Obama if he was found walking out of a bank with a mask on, a gun in one hand and a bag of money (with a dye pack inside) in the other.

Biden, however, turns off the undecideds, and those are the ones Obama needs to turn on, which he hasn’t done yet.
