Lieberman willing to star at Republican convention

[book_worm]

Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.), the Democratic Party’s 2000 vice presidential nominee, is leaving open the possibility of giving a keynote address on behalf of Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) at the Republican National Convention in September.


Republicans close to the McCain campaign say Lieberman’s appearance at the convention, possibly before a national primetime audience, could help make the case that the presumptive GOP nominee has a record of crossing the aisle. That could appeal to much-needed independent voters.



McCain has yet to ask Lieberman to speak, either in primetime or elsewhere, at the convention. But if McCain thinks it will help make his case for the White House, as some of his allies suspect, Lieberman would be willing to speak on his behalf.


“If Sen. McCain, who I support so strongly, asked me to do it, if he thinks it will help him, I will,” Lieberman said in a brief interview.

10. you can be sure it was discussed as those two road tripped thru iraq last month.

12. Could it happen?

I don't think so. Many conservatives won't vote for McCain as it is. If he loses his base, that's it for him.

11. That political whore

belongs in the brothel of the corrupted Republican party.

Why don't good republicans want to save their own party? why don't they clean it up?
