Lieberman / McCain

Woah. This is not a photoshop:

Now, if you click there, it'll redirect you to "Citizens for John McCain," but it's interesting that such a link is already hot and ready inside Google's sponsored links engine.

It'd be a play for the independents & Hillary Democrats...but I wouldn't underestimate its value that way, though. If McCain wants to play the "bipartisan" card strongly, there'd be no better way to demonstrate his intent to work across the aisle than by selecting the Democrats' VP candidate from '00 as his choice. It'd also make the Biden selection look like a 'business as usual' selection by Obama in comparison, which undercuts their primary campaign theme.

Aside from the tactical advantages, though, if it happens it probably would come down to that McCain would be just more comfortable with JoeL as his VP than any of the other options. McC pretty much gives up any hope of mobilizing the pro-life faction of the GOP by selecting Lieberman or Ridge, for example.
