But they can't get away with it -- and this has been made clear to McCain by none other than Joe Lieberman himself.

If this is true, and Lieberman actually tried to dissuade McCain from picking him even though it would make him lose out on a such a huge opportunity, I have even more respect for Joe. I still wouldn't want him as vice president, but he is an honorable man.

He is a good man. Not one of us, but a good man.

McCain, and only McCain can elect Obama at this point. If he picks a solid conservative, it’s a blowout win for him. As for Joe, if Liberman said that he would appoint a Roberts or Alito to the bench, maybe I wouldn’t get sick to my stomach if McCain picked him. If Liberman went further and said that he’s pro-choice but anti Roe v. Wade I might be able to live with the pick. The is nothing in the constitution that speaks to the issue of abortion, it is a states rights issue. If you support justices making laws from the bench when it suits you, then you can’t complain when they make up laws like Kelo that screw you. Joe could also argue the obvious, throwing out Roe v. wade does not ban abortions. I don’t see Liberman doing this so make him secretary of state instead and have the gop pick up his senate seat.
