Even as a conservative I have to admit that I like Joe Lieberman. If I had been a Democrat during the Democratic primaries when he was running I would have voted for him. His support of the troops and leadership style appeals to me, despite the whinny voice. If McCain were to select him, and he accepted, I would still vote for McCain. However…. Lieberman is still a democrat. His policies and voting record leave no doubt to that fact. We do not need to appeal to democrats or independents, they already have their candidate. What we need is to appeal to conservatives. McCain needs someone who can energize the conservative base. There are too many conservatives who feel (including myself) like conservatism has been put on a back burner in order to appease everyone. Appeasement will get you nothing. Senator McCain needs someone who will compliment him and make up for his shortcomings. Thats what will get him elected.
