9. My only problem with these scenerios...Lieberman's voting record
With the exception of his staunch support of Bush's War, Joe has been a VERY democratic voter over his years. While the Gore assasination plot makes for exciting tin-foil hat reading, I'm more inclined to think that Joe has simply lost his way after too many years in a safe seat. Oh, and that whole Jewish thing, of course. It is hard for him to be objective, being an Orthodox Jew, and all. I'd be more inclined to believe he started getting the special BushCo treatment only after it was readily apparent to them that he was on board. They needed to keep him on board, due to his high-profile democratic status. I don't think Joe is aligned with anybody but Joe and his own needs.
