Its always interesting when someone crosses party lines to side with the enemy. Independent Senator, Joe Lieberman has come out endorsing John McCain as the only one who can “break through the partisanship that is poisoning our politics today and stopping us from getting anything done in Washington.” An interesting twist for one who has seemingly broken almost all the rules of modern politics.
Lieberman has drawn some fire from the Democratic Leadership, however there’s little they can do if they’d like to keep his votes on their side of the aisle (especially since very few votes separate the two parties in the Senate). I do have to admit, I’m a little surprised myself, that the liberal from New England is supporting the Conservative from Arizona. It could almost be a story line in an episode of the “Odd Couple” but I wouldn’t expect to see the two of them out shopping for platform beds any time soon (wouldn’t that be a pretty headline??).
Elsewhere in the GOP, Huckabee is drawing more fire as he continues to rise in the polls, which brings to mind the question of whether or not bad press is better than no press at all and Ron Paul reportedly raises 6 million in contributions over the weekend in an online ron paul lovefest. I seriously hope that Paul realizes what effect he could have on the race if he runs as a third party and decides not to. It would make sense for the GOP nomoniee to have him on the short list of running mates, though Eric seems to think that would be suicide for the ticket.
