So how about a Clinton-Lieberman ticket?
Joe Lieberman has apparently ruled out being John McCain's running mate. Of course, this is the same guy who said he would support whoever the Democratic nominee for president was, and then went on to endorse and campaign for McCain before the primary season even started. His word is pretty much worthless.
And speaking of people whose word is worthless, Lieberman may find himself a perfect match for the Hillary campaign, who has proven that even her signed pledges mean little when political maneuvering and expedience call.
And it's nice to see at least someone in the press taking her to task over her "victory" in Florida.
Cheering supporters? Check. Election returns on the projection screen? Check. Andrea Mitchell and Candy Crowley doing stand-ups? Check and check. In fact, the only piece missing from Hillary Clinton's Florida victory party here Tuesday night was a victory.
. . .
But in a political stunt worthy of the late Evel Knievel, the Clinton campaign decided to put on an ersatz victory party that, it hoped, would erase memories of Obama's actual victory Saturday night in South Carolina's Democratic primary.
This, along with her contention that the delegates here and in Michigan, where she ran unopposed, should be awarded to her and seated at the Democratic convention, smacks of desperation. What's odd about that, is that she's still the front-runner, still ahead in the polls, and still likely to win the nomination. By all rights, this blatant attempt to game the system in her favour shouldn't even be necessary. What does she know or fear that the rest of us don't?
