Lieberman? You really think he'd be a tough candidate to beat?

A. He'd draw a lot of independent voters and even some Republicans, IMO.

I'm reminded of something Jon Stewart said. "Here is a sentence you will never hear: Ladies and Gentleman, the First Lady, Hadassah Lieberman."

B. Due large part to the fact that his own party would never deign to give him the nomination.

At any rate, you are correct that Democrats have rejected him. I sincerely doubt he could ever get the nomination.

C. See B, above.

Maybe not Leiberman individually, but Democrats like him.

Right now Leiberman is one of only a handful of Democrats who are respected by Republicans, Independents, and Democrats alike. If Democrats had a majority of people Leiberman's caliber, Republicans would have to run for their money.

But they don't.
