Nobody like that with a pattern of speech that can best be described as a simpering whine can ever command the "stage presence" to win a national election. He was added to the Democratic ticket in 2000 by party bigwigs -- without Gore's approval, BTW -- to repay him for his pathetic party loyalty during the Clinton impeachment debacle.
Give a nice speech at the RNC convention praising McCain and condemning Demcorats for their anti-semitism.
Cut ads for McCain and run them in Florida (Broward and Palm Beach counties).
If Joe were to get up in front of the GOP convention, announce that not only was he solidly in support of John McCain, but that after much soul searching that he was forced to abandon his former pro-choice position because he had become convinced that John McCain was right, that at the moment of conception, that is when an unborn child’s human rights begin.
He states that he will work tirelessly to overturn Roe v. Wade, and asks the Convention if they would accept him as a new member of the Party.
You would see at least a half hour or more of standing ovations, cheers, and celebratory chaos, and rightly so.
Let’s not say it can’t happen, miracles DO still happen, and I’m praying for Joe.
Great, just what we need, another RINO.
the dems are going to pick up 3-5 seats in november so even if he does change itll be irrelevant. he should have thought about this in january 2007, not now.
More like November Miracle, judging by the polls.
That being said, Juan appears collected and calm on interview and debate formats; however, there is something lurking back behind those baby blues that is ominous. He might be somewhat deranged.
We know he's too damned liberal by just looking at his voting record and the doubtful accomplishments in over 20 years as a member of the elite poltical class.
As we've said over and over, the lesser of two evils, but LIEberman....no way Jose, or Juan.
The Republican ticket in 1940 consisted of Wendell Willkie for President and Charles McNary for VP. Both of them died in 1944, so they would not have lived to the end of their term if they had won.
Not since Ronald Reagan changed his party affiliation from Democrat to Republican has there been the likes of the possibility that Joe Lieberman, the independent from Connecticut who was dumped by the Democratic party may be announcing that he's going to join the Republican party... With the way the world is right now, we don't need some junior senator from Illinois clogging up the process while he's getting fitted with a cloak of statesmanship and patriotism... there sits... Pelosi poised and ready for action as the third heartbeat from the Oval Office. If that isn't enough motivation to make each and every Republican precinct captain in this country get out there and start walking the beat, I don't know what would. But truthfully, Lieberman's position as the tipping point Republican in the Senate would be far more advantageous than his being vice president.I wholeheartedly agree. I like Lieberman, and it would be just desserts for the Demwits if -- after turning on Lieberman over his support for the WOT -- he waits until *after* the election is over to change to "R". And not as a VP, but as a Senator.
