State party to consider bid to oust Lieberman HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Connecticut Democrats are considering trying to force Joe Lieberman out of the party. The veteran senator calls himself an "independent Democrat." He was re-elected as an independent two years ago after losing the Democratic primary. Six years earlier, he nearly became vice president as Al Gore’s running mate. Well That Biden Choice Sure Worked Out Well For Obamma…

Ok, well not exactly: "An by Gallup Poll Managing Editor Jeff Jones shows that recent presidential campaigns have enjoyed a small (though short-lived) bounce from the running mate announcement. This includes a four percentage point bounce for John Kerry in 2004 after selecting John Edwards, a 5-point bounce for Al Gore in 2000 with his announcement of Joe Lieberman, and a 3-point bounce for George W. Bush in 2000 upon choosing Dick Cheney. Bob Dole received an extraordinary 9-point bounce in 1996 after bringing Jack Kemp onto his ticket." |
What position will McCain appoint Lieberman?
