McCain/Lieberman

Saw this on Drudge and it linked to the Weekly Standard Blog. Here's the big announcement:

"THE WEEKLY STANDARD has learned that Sen. Joe Lieberman, the 2000 Democratic vice-presidential nominee, will endorse Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) for president tomorrow. The two will appear together at a press conference Monday morning in New Hampshire, weather permitting."

My take and $4.50 will get you a nice latte at Starbucks, but here goes...I think this does more to hurt the dems than it does to help the repubs. Obviously, it's good for McCain, but what does this tell you about him? Lieberman would never endorse a conservative, because he's a liberal and always has been. This doesn't do any favors for the conservative base, who wrote off McCain a long time ago. Remember the gang of 14, amnesty, and McCain-Feingold? He was against Bush's tax cuts and he's a big U.N. guy. He and Lieberman are a likely team.

I can't imagine how threatened "vice-president" Lindsey Graham must feel.

The mainstream media is all abuzz because they would much rather see a liberal republican, like McCain, win the nomination than a centrist, which is what most of the other republicans are.

More than anything else this shows just how far to the left both parties have gone.
