Remember, as Joe Lieberman speaks tonight, that the Republicans dumped him as John McCain's VP choice because Lieberman is pro-choice. (I also wonder how the religious right would have felt about a non-Christian VP - after all, they think Catholics are going to hell.) Today on MSNBC, Andrea Mitchell interviewed GOP strategist Vin Weber, who said that had McCain picked Lieberman as his VP, it would have caused problems at the convention. Joe isn't really loved by either party. Remember that when you watch him pretend that he's a Republican tonight.
Fair-weather Joe Lieberman can't seem to decide which candidate he likes:
"As far as I'm concerned [Barack Obama] is a 'Baruch,' which means a blessing. He is a blessing to the United States Senate, to America, and to our shared hopes for better, safer tomorrows for all our families. The gifts that God has given to Barack Obama are as enormous as his future is unlimited. As his mentor, as his colleague, as his friend, I look forward to helping him reach to the stars and realize not just the dreams he has for himself, but the dreams we all have for him and our blessed country."
