Lieberman Would Address RNC

clipped from www.politico.com

Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman (I-Conn.) said he’s open to speaking at the Republican National Convention in September if presumptive GOP nominee John McCain asks him.

"I want to help him. I’m not going to attack Obama. I am going to explain why I, as an independent democrat, support McCain, hoping that I can convince other independents and Democrats to join me in choosing the man who is clearly more ready to be the president America needs today,” Lieberman said on "Fox News Sunday."

Asked whether he would make a speech even if Democrats kick him out of their caucus, Lieberman replied: “I’m going to do what’s right for the country and not worry about the politics. And John McCain is definitely right for the country as our next president.”

My take? This is Lieberman's final term. He's not going to run in 2012. Mostly because he can't; he's completely destroyed his career as a public servant. In an '06 do-over, polls show Holy Joe would lose in a landslide to Lamont.
