He would probably get my vote. This from
here:
WASHINGTON -- Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman, just back from Iraq, wants President Bush to give the American people details about the progress being made in that country - from military triumphs to the proliferation of cellphones and satellite dishes.
and:
"We do have a strategy," he said. "We do have a plan. I saw a strategy that's being implemented." Lieberman, who is one of Bush's strongest war supporters in the Senate, cited the remarks of Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who last month told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee the strategy in Iraq was to "clear, hold and build: to clear areas from insurgent control, to hold them securely and to build durable, national Iraqi institutions."
IMO, Lieberman,
if he ran as himself, would be a shoe-in for the White House in '08. He would not only grab a wide swath of both centrist republicans and democrats, but would likely attract conservative republicans, as well. He's one of the few democrats who actually get it. Pity that his current party wouldn't give him the time of day, much less the nod at a presidential bid.
