If Mac Reaches Across Party Lines For His VP Who Does He Pick?

[Stranger in a strange land]

Why Joe Lieberman of course.

He could pick Ben Nelson, too... or Gene Taylor.

Nelson has endorsed Obama.

Nelson won't do it. He's conservative, but he's a Democrat, and since he represents one of the most conservative states in the Union, I'd suspect his views are at least somewhat reflective of those of his constituents. If Nelson didn't defect when the Republicans held a commanding majority in the Senate and the Democratic party was written off as dead, he won't now.

Zell Miller would never be selected because of his opposition to the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

Although this is true, it was curiously NEVER brought up when he gave the keynote address at the 2004 RNC.

anyway, McCain won't pick Miller. He's irrelevent now, about the same age as him, and his views, which have changed wildly over the course of his career (Miller is an even bigger flip-flopper than Kerry and Romney combined, but that's for another thread) have devolved into being reflective of 1950s Georgia. He might play well in the South, but he'd be toxic up north and out west.
