Lieberman himself was a product of Gore's penchant for the unexpected. When Gore put him on the ticket, he was a little-known senator -- and an Orthodox Jew at that. It was a bold, admirable choice -- as stunning as Gore's subsequent betrayal.
In my mind, Lieberman was never going to be the Democratic nominee. His sole advantage -- name recognition -- dissipated as the campaign progressed.
I don't blame Dean for what Gore did. But when I saw the two of them together -- the ungrateful Gore, the flinty Dean -- I thought that what Gore had brought Dean was not his endorsement but his baggage. The spotlight was on the two of them -- but somehow it shone brighter on Lieberman.
