Lieberman willing to star at Republican convention

[Seen the light]

Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.), the Democratic Party’s 2000 vice presidential nominee, is leaving open the possibility of giving a keynote address on behalf of Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) at the Republican National Convention in September.

Republicans close to the McCain campaign say Lieberman’s appearance at the convention, possibly before a national primetime audience, could help make the case that the presumptive GOP nominee has a record of crossing the aisle. That could appeal to much-needed independent voters.

McCain has yet to ask Lieberman to speak, either in primetime or elsewhere, at the convention. But if McCain thinks it will help make his case for the White House, as some of his allies suspect, Lieberman would be willing to speak on his behalf.

“If Sen. McCain, who I support so strongly, asked me to do it, if he thinks it will help him, I will,” Lieberman said in a brief interview.

4. I wasn't a psych major in college, but Lieberman seems to have some attention/adoration compulsion..

.... He's an absolute attention whore who needs someone to constantly tell him how wonderful he is. And in the Democratic primary, real Democrats showed him exactly how wonderful he wasn't.

5. He will be remembered as the biggest turncoat ever...

he lied to his constituents and they believed him. So how many years does he have left for reelection?

7. While that might appeal to some moderates, it would turn off twice as many of their base

They just ran against this guy in 2004 and now he's being embraced by them?

The base will see that their party no longer represents them and see the RNC as "democrat lite" and will not turn out at all.

This might ne the best thing we could for.
