Joseph Lieberman's journey from Democratic VP nominee in 2000 to endorsing John McCain today -- what a long strange trip it's been.

None of the dems wanted Lieberman's endorsement, McCain did, and Joe was independent enough to give it. It's always nice to see a politician who doesn't stick to the typical partisanship that's destroyed our federal government.

Rice-Lieberman is my dream ticket! Should none of the Republican candidates garner the majority of the delegates necessary to win the Republican Party nomination, I hope they draft Dr. Condoleezza Rice as their Party's nominee.

Dream Ticket?

Lieberman and McCain both want to police the world and contribute to the military-industrial complex of our nation. Of course they go well together. Vote Ron Paul, the only one who cares about keeping our country going strong by actually taking the Constitution and our freedom seriously.

I imagine that Lieberman owes the Clintons a favor or two, and what better way to repay them than to trying to interest NH independents in voting in the Republican primary. That would keep them out of the Democratic primary, so they couldn't vote for Barack Obama. I don't think the people of NH are quite as naive as the Clintons think.

McCain-Lieberman would be a capable bi-partisan, moderate ticket. About time we don't just have party loyalists running for office, or left or right wing extremes (who claim unity is still their goal). Very significant combo for the white house. Still, Ron Paul is the only one who speaks to the libertarian side, any other candidates will only continue the bigger gov't trend.
