Furthermore, if Kerry would even consider someone who's a Republican, he can just as well consider someone like Lieberman---pro-war---yet a "good" Democrat. Lieberman would be the sentimental favorite, being half the losing team in 2000. He's been through the process, he's been tested. (Pre-loved, as they say in the second-hand stores.) Kerry could pitch the choice to the Jewish voters and the moderates. Lieberman can't make Kerry look old, tired and ugly the way John Edwards can. Lieberman is a proven team player who'll switch positions to accommodate the upper half of the ticket (as he did for Gore).
All the talk of McCain being picked, only softens up the Dems for the choice of the relatively hawkish Lieberman.
Take it up with Fox News. I only repeated what their television screen reported.
