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.

Lousy comparison.

Reagan was already a conservative.

Lieberman is a flaming liberal.

You are right. Thats not a good comparison. However, I do believe that there will be a substantial portion of people like Lieberman voting for McCain.

Republicans...Democrats....I see very little difference.

Lieberman don’t have to change his party affiliation to be a VP. A lesson in history would remind Americans that in Presidential elections early in our nation, there was no selection of VP. Each candidate ran under his own affiliation. The top vote getter was President. The second vote getter was VP.

We weren’t electing a party. We were electing a leader.
