It would guarantee repubs would stay home in Nov.

3. This would alienate him completely with conservatives
That being said, these two lovebirds were on CNN yesterday. I was sickened with disdain for Lieberman.

5. he won't do it
He's already in trouble with his base and adding a former Democrat to the ticket would destroy him, even if the former Democrat is an insane warmongering bastard just like McCain.

7. McCain/Huckabee...maybe.
Lieberman sure does have his nose up McCain's butt though. McCain may have to pick someone very conservative who is good on economic issues. I don't know who that might be.

9. Lieberman is a right-wing nut job Democrat
I'm not sure how adding him to the ticket would help.

11. Might be a good precedent
Not a big Leiberman fan, but this would definitely be putting their money where their mouth is on bipartisanship.
