No way, too much blood has been spilled. The Gore endorsement of Dean made it impossible.

Zell Miller is retiring, so he has nothing to lose by endorsing Bush.

If Joe Lieberman desires a continued career as a Democrat, endorsing Bush would be political suicide. He would have to become a Republican, which might be a smart move for him anyway.

It's too bad for the Dems. Lieberman is clearly the most credible candidate and would put up the toughest opposition to Bush.

If a guy who did his level best to steal the votes of military personnel is the most credible candidate the Dems have...

I've always thought likewise. The dems are in a tough position--if they do the right thing and nominate Lieberman, Nader steps in and takes the Deanies (if Dean doesn't go independent). Regardless of who wins the nomination, the media will step in and paint him (her?) as the savior of the nation, even if they have to hold their noses. Party uber alles.

Lieberman threw what little credibility he had away in 2000 when he changed all of his major positions to plea to speical interest facists in the Dem party.

The hard left, which any Democrat would need in order to win, would stay home or vote for Nader. And no one else would be particularly excited. People aren't going to jump at the chance to vote for somebody who agrees with the guy we already have on the dominant issue of the day.
