Ok ok, we all hate Joe Lieberman for his unabashed support of this abortion of a war and his Brutus-like turn on the party that has backed him all these years. But there is one thing that Joementum can do to redeem himself: Serve as John McCain's Vice Presidential nominee. It will spell certain doom for McCain and ensure that Obama will be elected president and the war will not go on for 100 years.
As we all know, putting Joe on the ticket in 2000 was the biggest mistake Al Gore ever made. He was a horrible campaigner and brought absolutely nothing to the ticket. He is about as charismatic as a nauseous eel, was a tired and lazy campaigner and was such a bad a debater that he somehow managed to lose to Dick Cheney. He was poison to the ticket.
If he was on the republican ticket, he'd bring all of those great faults with him while bringing with him a whole new mess of liabilities. McCain is very weak with social conservatives, and appointed a socially moderate democrat to be next in line would make the heads of right wingers who are already holding their noses just completely explode. And Joementum is so fearless in his defense of the Iraq War, it would further emphasize how in-line McCain is with the Bush-policy on Iraq. Not to mention: he wouldn't deliver Connecticut or any other state for that matter. And there will be NO democrats who decide to cross-over because Joementum's on the ticket. All he will do is lose McCain votes.
So Joe, the only chance you have of helping this nation move forward, passed the failed foreign policy approach you so forcefully advocate, is to get on McCain's ticket and work the magic you wielded during the 2000 election that kept Al Gore out of the White House.
