Conservatives for Lieberman as a Republican VP

By John Amato

"William the Bloody" Kristol is pumping Joe Lieberman to be the VP for the GOP. Kristol likes to reward neocon warmongers and Lieberman certainly gets a Kewpie doll for his constant support of the PNACers world view of things and one of the "bomb Iran" crowd.

Kristol:

Read the whole speech on Lieberman's website. As for Rudy and John and Fred and Mitt and Mike: Take a break from kissing babies to pick up the phone and congratulate Joe. Seek his endorsement after you win the nomination. What the heck--offer him the vice presidency. (Rudy, you might try State or Defense, since you'll need a pro-life running mate.)

But McCain-Lieberman, Thompson-Lieberman, Romney-Lieberman, Huckabee-Lieberman -- those sound like winning tickets to us. It's true, given the behavior of the congressional Democrats, the GOP nominee might well win with a more conventional running mate. But why settle for a victory if you can have a realignment?
