Lieberman says no ambition to be VP with McCain
Yahoo
Wed Jan 2, 5:30 PM ET

DERRY, New Hampshire (Reuters) - Sen. Joe Lieberman, a Democrat turned independent, ruled out a bipartisan White House bid on Wednesday, saying he has no ambition to be vice president if John McCain, whom he has endorsed, wins the Republican candidacy....

...Asked if his support for McCain would extend to joining his ticket if he is chosen as the Republican candidate, Lieberman told Reuters he was quite happy just being a senator.

Asked if his running as vice president was out of the question, he said: "Oh yeah. I got that bug out of my system."

2. Biggest mistake Gore ever made
The only good thing about Gore not becoming president is that that little turd Lieberwimp never became vice president.

7. I insist, please Joe, do it !
Edited on Wed Jan-02-08 11:30 PM by jaysunb
I'll even contribute a few dollars to that campaign.

Ya know why Joe ? Cause it would get your sorry ass out of the Senate and give Connecticut Democrats another chance to elect ,a real Democrat.

Oh, and it will be great to see you on record of being on 2 losing tickets.

:evilgrin:

9. For once, I can't say that I blame Holy Joe
If McCain approached me, I would have turned him down, too.

10. And this is a good thing
I expect perhaps 70% of America also has no ambition to have Clueless Joe on anyone's ticket.
