McCain weighs a Lieberman surprise
GOP sources say McCain and his close friend Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) still haven’t given up hope on making what some believe would be a game-changing decision by tapping Lieberman.
Just the faintest glimmer that this might be possible gives me goose bumps. John McCain picks a washed-out pro-choice former Democrat who both liberals and conservatives despise as his VP? Please tell me Santa’s coming early this year.
It’s interesting that both sides have been suspected of choosing VP’s from across the aisle. It may be wishful thinking, but it’s good that both sides realize that the religious/intellectual red/blue divide isn’t good for the country, and that a non-partisan ticket might be the only way to stop the gap from spreading.
