They are just using each other because both of them hate George Bush.

The question is, do they hate Bush enough to play Ross Perot in 2004, and I think the anwer is "yes".

A McCain/Lieberman ticket would have to be an Independent ticket which means their only role in the election would be that of disruptor. The major parties would not support a R & D presidential ticket.

Also, I suspect this would hurt democrats more than republicans as they are both liberals. I don't think grass roots conservatives could stomach either of them.

Liebermann/McCain - No Way. It would have to be McCain/Liebermann. No way in hell McCain would accept VP. Remember his snit about some bill that had to be broadcast as McCain/someone first?

So, McCain/Liebermann - yes, I could see that happen but I think it would only guarantee W's re-election because they would have to run Independent and would draw more Dem votes than Repub votes.

Enron is turning into a total joke. Lesson to the press and the Dems: better to learn the facts first before the frothing starts. Waxman is such an idiot. Now he says Bush should have bailed out Enron to help the employees and stockholders. Say what? This should only be a criminal investigation through the justice department. It's white collar crime, period; except, of course, for all the nasty entanglement with the prior administration - India, Mozambique, etc. Looks like W wins again!

Bush would win a 3-way match-up. When you look at the numbers, Bush's base is stronger than any candidates in a 3-way matchup. He would be a 40%-er like Clintoon in 1992, but he'd win more than enough electoral votes.

Well, but in order to do that, they would have to dump the RNC and go independent. Do you think they would do that?? McCain had the opportunity last time, but he didn't take it - mainly because he knew if he changed parties, he would have to GIVE UP HIS POWER POSITION IN THE SENATE. Remember, that power position is important. If McCain goes independent, he loses that power - I cannot see him giving that up. His cancer is getting worse by the day, and he knows he doesn't have much time left.

When the word really gets around about the cancer, who on earth would elect him knowing he was going to die soon?? I think they'll put on a big show - but that's as far as it goes - they are both wimps compared to Bush - and they know it. They may have used the media against Bush before, but it won't work this time.
