The only time that I remember Lieberman, or any Dem, say a word about NOT throwing out the military ballots was after they were caught and the media fallout was a lot bigger than they expected. Lieberman played along to the Dem/Daley/Gore script the entire time.

Giving Lieberman the benefit of anything, without keeping your hand firmly on your wallet, is a big misjudgement.

The media fallout [to throwing out military ballots] was a lot bigger than they expected. Lieberman played along to the Dem/Daley/Gore script the entire time.

Are you saying you expected Lieberman, as an honest Joe, not to play along to the hilt with Daley, once they embarked on the recount debacle? That's unrealistic. That's the moral equivalent to the Dems blaming Bush for resisting recounts.

He's a politician; he plays the game. It wasn't his call to contest the Florida vote. Sorry, I just believe him that he wouldn't want the military ballots thrown out.

As for Gore, I give him the benefit of no doubt whatsoever. I giggled at my brother (a Democrat) for believing nonsense that it was an independent effort to throw out those other absentee ballots on that technicality.
