WASHINGTON (AP) – John McCain pledges that if elected president, he'd appoint Democrats to his Cabinet.
He says there's nothing partisan about tackling the nation's toughest problems.
In an interview taped today for airing tomorrow, McCain tells CBS's "Face the Nation" he intends to have the best people in America in Cabinet.
It's believed that McCain closely considered Senator Joe Lieberman as a running mate. The Connecticut independent is a former Democrat.

There is on going thread about this. “Welcome to Party” - John McClain “Die Hard”
Hey, if he wants to make Joe Lieberman Sec’y of State or SedDef, I’m down with that.
Otherwise, however, he’d better watch himself.
As for his “reaching across the aisle” pledge is... (deja vu, yawn!) I sincerely hope his learning curve is quicker than dubya’s.
Thats it John way to screw over your base. Stupid is what stupid does....McLame is an entreched politician who claims he will shake things up, yet every time he attacks, its always at conservatives. Palin is his redemption, lets see if he allows her to share her views once she is VP.
yeah yeah yeah. we know Lieberman’s gonna be in there somewhere...
Just PLEASE don’t make it Defense or State.
Put him in Education- more damage THERE might not even be noticed.
Joe deserves a spot... as does Zell.
LLS
I agree.
I’d have no problem with Lieberman at Defense or State..... just NO POWELL
A democrat Congress @ 9 % in the polls isn’t enough, now we have to put em in the friggin cabinet.
Really inspiring John.
Lieberman in the McCain Cabinet means another Republican in the Senate. And Lieberman has no loyalty to the democrats now so he won’t care.
THere are some good Dems out there. Don’t start again with screwing the base. He has some very good advisors out there...they seem to know what they’re doing. Sit back and enjoy, will ya?
Lieberman for State or Def is fine, Zell Miller would work for me also.
Stop trying to screw up your own campaign, Johnnie.
And if McCain picks Lieberman to be Secretary of Homeland Security or Secretary of State, SO WHAT?
I can live with that, if Governor Palin is on the ticket and is positioned to become McCain's successor in 2012 or 2016.
Thread already under way.
I'm afraid its more like DEMOniC-RAT. McCain is interested in politics whether partisan or bipartisan, while the rest of us are concerned about AMERICA!
Lieberman for anything = +1 Republicans in the Senate.
