Obama spokesman Bill Burton on FOX earlier today, talking about Lieberman's speech tonight (no link, sorry :-):
Yes, Joe Lieberman is speaking but the reason he is speaking instead of on the ticket is because there's a choice in this election between Barack Obama who is for a woman's right to choose and John McCain who wants to overturn Roe vs. Wade to the point he kept Joe Lieberman off the ticket.... If John McCain really wanted to show he's the maverick he purports to be, he wouldn't just have had Joe Lieberman giving a speech. He would have put Joe Lieberman on the ticket, but he was forced not to by the right wing of his party.
