Apparently Reid did not see the latest DNC and MSM talking point memo regarding the wonderful wisdom of selecting Lieberman as McCain VP.

He blabbed about it recently to the Las Vegas local paper on how the Connecticut senator has been so helpful in getting the democrat's bills through the semate.

Lieberman is okay on the war and that is basically where it stops. If McCain in so infatuated with him, he can give him a cabinet position which doesn't call for dem vs rep decision-making.

"In my opinion, some of Bush's biggest failings came when he caved to the democrats."

I would expand that to saying he caved to Congress!

It's time to shrink government and get our fiscal policy under control. Having a socially liberal "independent" would not necessarily accomplish anything positive.

This can't be reiterated enough and is another reason Mitt would be the best selection. He started out campaigning on the promise to start cutting out the big government crap that we've gotten ourselves into... The only other one to mention this as being a problem was Ron Paul if I remember correctly. IMO the size of our gov't isn't just a problem, it's our number one problem that exacerbates all of the others....
