Joe Lieberman-citat

Joe Lieberman har sagt:

"I agree more often than not with Democrats on domestic policy. I agree more often than not with Republicans on foreign and defense policy."

En syn jag själv anser vara mycket vettig.

Hämtat från Wikipedia om Liberman:

Although Lieberman remained a member of Democratic Senate Majority, he endorsed Republican Senator John McCain for President in 2008. It marked the first endorsement in the 2008 presidential election from across traditional party lines. Lieberman cited his agreement with McCain's stance on the War on Terrorism as the primary reason for the endorsement.[108] The endorsement sparked Democratic criticism due to his statement in 2006 saying he would support a Democratic candidate in the Presidential race.[109] Under Democratic Party rules, his endorsement of McCain caused him to lose his status as a superdelegate to the 2008 Democratic National Convention.[110]. Lieberman has since indicated that he is even willing to speak at the 2008 Republican National Convention on behalf of his friend. [111] Lieberman was alongside McCain and Senator Lindsey Graham during a visit to French president Nicolas Sarkozy March 21st 2008 [112]

Lieberman has been mentioned as a possible Vice Presidential nominee on a John McCain ticket.[113][114]

I viss mån skulle Lieberman kunna vara ett bra alternativ som vice-president för McCain. Säkert skulle Lieberman kunna locka mitten-demokrater till Republikanernas fålla. Däremot skulle ett sådant team förmodligen inte gå hem hos de konservativa Republikanerna, som anser McCain vara alltför liberal utan att dra med sig en Demokrat som VP. Förmodligen lär således Lieberman knappast blir McCains running-mate. Men möjligheten tål ändå att utforskas.
