Thank you Sir … the ultimate liberal speaks. ;-)

[SolidWood]

At least a liberal hawk.

[ElkGroveDan]

Neither will I.

[doc1019]

Yep, a liberal (pos)hawk. ;-)

I would be willing to bet that Lieberman’s lack of interest evaporates just as soon as McCain approaches him with an offer. They have no problems outright lying about anything or weaseling out of previous statements.

I guess the Republican Governor Jodi Rell won’t be replacing Senator Lieberman with a Republican Senator instead (not that a probable RINO Republican replacement would truly be that much better than present Senator Lieberman).

[b4its2late]

Whew!

[Darren McCarty]

At least this means we won't get President Droopy Dawg.

IMHO the Obama candidacy has reached a critical mass. That does not mean I think he will win the general election, quite the contrary - but I do think that he will win the Democratic nomination, or at least undercut the value of the Democratic nomination to anyone else (Hillary).

Either way, I see his supporters' grandiose enthusiasm for Obama's possibilities as a hazard to the country when (not, IMHO, if) they are brought down to earth. I see tremendous schismatic potential in it - and in the crisis I also see opportunity. The opportunity to change the paradigm.

What the country needs now is for the Republican Party (read, John McCain) to have the vision to defuse the race issue by nominating a conservative black for VP. Someone who will model the sort of patriotism which Obama holds in contempt - and also become the story after Obama's candidacy is old news. If, as I suppose, the choice is between

Black Republican Elected VPandBlacks Riot over Obama Defeat

I think we should pray for the former.

i am praying that somehow God would influence mcCain to pick a true conservative.

Please tell me McCain is talking to John Bolton? for something? SOS, preferably, but UN Ambassador would be fine, too.

[kingattax]

not very likely. but it sure would be nice to see a lot of true conservatives in decision-making government positions.

[txhurl]

It’s high time McCain delineate his proposed foreign policy nominees (as the assumed POTUS).

[Jay Redhawk]

Lieberman probably already has word that McCain will pick Olympia Snow or Jim Jeffers for VP. (Meant with only a slight bit of sarcasm.)

Don't enable the GOP, vote conservative third party.

“When he thinks he can screw the First Amendment like a cheap $15 whore with Russ Feingold, D-Wis. on a campaign finance reform bill, he goes out and does it.”

There, fixed that for ya.

You might as well be praying for Satan to start up a 'Jews for Jesus' chapter over in Dante's 3rd circle of Hell.

[SkyPilot]

Neither will I.

Who are three people who have never been in my kitchen.

[Jimmy Valentine]

Not buying it. I think McCaine would think this a super strategy, to run a fusion ticket.
