Lieberman willing to star at Republican convention By Manu Raju Posted: 04/15/08 08:06 PM [ET]
Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.), the Democratic Party’s 2000 vice presidential nominee, is leaving open the possibility of giving a keynote address on behalf of Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) at the Republican National Convention in September.
Republicans close to the McCain campaign say Lieberman’s appearance at the convention, possibly before a national primetime audience, could help make the case that the presumptive GOP nominee has a record of crossing the aisle. That could appeal to much-needed independent voters.
McCain has yet to ask Lieberman to speak, either in primetime or elsewhere, at the convention. But if McCain thinks it will help make his case for the White House, as some of his allies suspect, Lieberman would be willing to speak on his behalf.
“If Sen. McCain, who I support so strongly, asked me to do it, if he thinks it will help him, I will,” Lieberman said in a brief interview.
Lieberman said he doubts McCain will ask him to give a keynote address, but acknowledges the subject has yet to come up in the two senators’ discussions.
A Lieberman aide said even though there are no plans for the Independent to give a speech at the convention, it is a “likely possibility” he will address the Republican audience in some form.

I don’t know about “Starring”. We should try to avoid snoozefest.
He will NOT have the same effect that the DEM Senator from Georgia had! Ah! That guy ripped Kerry a new one! Against! Against! Against!!! Then Chris “Lardass” Mathews tried to mock him and he wished that Duel was still allowed so he could bust a cap in Mathews’ fat ass. LOL!
Lieberman is Sleeperman.
No thanks.
C’mon in, Joe.
It really is. Machines of the political ilk being overturned before our eyes.
Limbaugh should give the keynote.
I don’t know, Rush said that Lieberman had spoken at some event this past weekend and was well received. He said Joe was pretty entertaining.
Rush would make a GREAT speach.
Lieberman willing to star at Republican convention
loserman the star?
It’d be nice if we had one ,, but Joe 8-?
Or Newt.
(jumping into fire suit)
I will enjoy it for the sole reason it will upset so many dems.
Lieberman...?
Oh those fortunate republicans.
“Are we still in Kansas...Toto?”
Lieberman may well draw some moderates, but McCain needs to shore up his conservative bona fides.
Reaching across the aisle is pointless if all you do is what the other side wants.
The DUmmies would be apoplectic. Wonderful fodder for the DUmmie FUnnies!
Yep...I was just thinking about Zell...I thought, well, THESE are going to be BIG dem shoes to fill!!!
If I had a choice, it would be Dennis Prager.
He’s a good speaker. He’s not dynamic but he has such an incredible ability to get his thoughts and pojnts across.
When Lieberman talks about what needs to be done in the defense of the country, he is very good really.
no freaking way.
