“McCain lawyer and vetter A. B. Culvahouse said last week that West Virginia law could have barred McCain from nominating a Democrat as his running mate in the key state, knocking Lieberman out of the running.”

What? There’s a law against Joe Lieberman switching parties? Is that possible?

I kinda wish McCain had picked Lieberman. The MSM couldn’t have blamed the loss on Palin. They’d probably have said it would have been a landslide without Joe.

Instead of losing by 7%, with old Joe by his side, McCain would have lost by 17%. Matching LBJ`s thumping of Goldwater in `64.

Only reason I voted for that hack was Sarah

[TigersEye]

There must have been fifty FReepers, at least, that were ready to put money on McNuts picking Lieberman.

and he would have lost 60-40

I like Joe better than John.

[DemforBush]

Mixed feelings here.

Sarah took a drubbing from the MSM (on behalf of the 0bama campaign, naturally) and would have benefited from having another four years as Governor before emerging on the national stage. In that sense, I would have preferred to see an aging warhorse like Lieberman hitch his wagon to McCain’s Dole-esque campaign

OTOH, sometimes you take the spotlight when it’s offered. Sarah got me more excited (no, not in that way...well, maybe a little, LOL) about politics than any candidate since Ronaldus Magnus. She’s the real deal and has the strengths that can’t be taught - toughness, a clarity of purpose, the gift of a natural communicator. I knew from moment one Sarah was the right choice, and all the media smears just make me that much surer of my stance.

McCain get over it,better yet just retire. No matter how many excuses you come up with you still lost.

It was a poor campaign devoid of conservative ideas and too scared of its own V. P. nominee to let her speak on her own. ( A huge mistake )

Doddering old fool.

“He could have nominated Lieberman, after all”

I would have laughed when the McCainiacs tried shoving that political abortion down our collective throat.

[Bean Counter]

So tell me Arizona Freepers: Do you have a decent, electable Conservative candidate to run against McCain??

[TenthAmendmentChampion]

He would have lost every state!
