Acceptable Lieberman

I agree with Patrick Ruffini on McCain picking Lieberman for Vice President
would be an acceptable pick. There is something to be said about a ticket that
crosses party lines. That being said if the goal of a Lieberman pick is to bring
over Democrats and Independents to McCain's side, than the Senator from
Connecticut is probably the wrong selection. The main reason people flooded
to the Democratic Party in the 2006 elections and the Democratic Primaries
was because of the war in Iraq. The only issue Lieberman really agrees with
Republicans on is the war in Iraq. So I doubt it will have the intended effect.

In other Lieberman related news: He will be speaking at the GOP convention.
