Imagine McCain picking Lieberman before Obama announces his choice. That would almost certainly dare Obama into picking a centrist or (gasp!) a Republican running mate. Obama’s base (who are as die-hard liberal as he is) would go BALLISTIC.
As it is, the far right is already choosing between the lesser of two evils. Running with Lieberman brings in more centrist voters on the fence than it scares away far-right voters, in my opinion.
