The other Joe: Don’t pick me
Posted By jake
Robert Novak reports Joe Lieberman is sending word through go-betweens that John McCain should not pick him for a running mate, sensing it would be a disaster in shoring up GOP support.
However, the McCain camp’s spirit of transcending the party line ain’t dead:
The Republican operative who urged Lieberman to dissuade McCain from picking him believes that there is still a very useful role for the maverick Democrat in this campaign: as McCain’s secretary of state. While an announcement in St. Paul of Lieberman as vice president would bring groans from the assembled Republicans, placing him at the State Department would evoke a standing ovation.
I’d like to take myself out of consideration for the vice presidency as well, but if Secretary of the Interior or somesuch is just lying around, gimme a call.
What are your thoughts on McCain’s VP pick? Should he go for an attention getter or what’s more likely to be viewed as a safe choice?
