Lieberman a Serious VP Running Mate for McCain?

I hope the rumors are not true, but it is being reported that Joe Lieberman is being seriously considered as a VP candidate by the Maverick.

The most serious deficiency that Dick Cheney had as a Republican VP candidate is that he was unwilling to carry the party's torch after President Bush left office. In a perfect conservative world, the Maverick's VP would be much more conservative than the Maverick himself, younger, a better speaker, and willing to carry the party's banner at the top of the next Presidential election. He ain't, he ain't much, he ain't much, and he ain't capable.

Of all the sharp sticks that McCain has poked into my eye lately, if this comes true, it will be easily the sharpest one. A McCain/Lieberman ticket could destroy the Republican Party if it wins. A loss in this election might actually be a better long term alternative.

John McCain, I beg you, please, give me a reason to vote for you.

This ain't it.
