Joe Liebs, huh? Great, a VP who’s been right on one issue and wrong on just about everything else. You call that a “Unity” ticket? I call it screwing your own team.

Sadly, I think this could well be true. Lieberman is exactly the sort of “bold” choice you would get by using a committee of consultants to decide. It has it’s cleverness, but I don’t think it’s half as clever as Team McCain may think. The Left has already written off Lieberman as a traitor and an apostate, and the media will spin it as a turncoat story. One of the things they do best is demonize someone in just this way, since to a Liberal there is no greater sin than hypocrisy (i.e. Lieberman will get Linda Tripped).

A better — I think — bold move was suggested on the previous thread, of picking Hillary for Sec State or some such position. Imagine the drama of announcing this at the Convention and then having Hillary come out to give a speech (assuming she doesn’t get booed). She’s certainly more than willing to sell her soul, so it’d be doable. And she could sell the role based on her “realistic” world view, etc, and she wouldn’t be in a position to poison any domestic policy. Politically, it would bring bunches of Hillary voters to McCain’s side, putting the knife into BHO’s back.

Combine that with a female VP, and you’d have feminists with steam coming out of their ears as their internal circuits shorted (whatever would the gals at The View make of such a thing?).
