Now, I'd gag if Lieberman got the nomination, but I'd still vote for him
against Bush, since the difference is still yawning.  Lieberman opposed the
Homeland Security bill in a major defense of federal labor unions.  He voted
against Bush's tax plan. He has a 100% NAACP rating and is rated highly by a
lot of other liberal groups.  Yes, he sucks on foreign policy, and maybe
that's why people would not vote for him, but the other differences are so
large I'm still trying to figure out why he gets singled out, such that it
would be okay to elect Bush as long as Lieberman didn't get the Presidency?
