It would suck to have a guy who has a problem with Conservatives to begin with choosing a D for a running mate.
There is no possible way that McCain should choose Gore's running mate to be his...
Well, if this were any other candidate besides John McCain, I would agree. However, when was the last time you saw McCain do something to appease the Conservative base? Now, when was the last time he pissed off the Conservative base? When is the last time McCain teamed up with a true conservative, and how often does he side with true liberals? How hard is it for McCain to even SAY something to appeal to conservatives, and how easy is it for McCain to join the Global Warming crowd and pander to the Liberals?
Knowing McCain, Gore is probably on the short list behind Lieberman!! At best, if I were a gambling man, I sure wouldn't put much on McCain picking a conservative running mate. That said, Lieberman is probably as close to a Conservative as John could be comfortable with on the ticket. It also allows John to break with the current Administration and neutralize the negative of being Republican this cycle. Plus... Lieberman is big buddies with Sean Hannity, so ironically, it might actually help McCain with the 'Sean' crowd.
Yep, given John's track record, it wouldn't surprise me a bit for him to pick Joe Lieberman. Following the pick, John will issue the following statement to the Conservative base... Dear Friends, Na na na na na, Na na na na!
