Joe Lieberman addressed the Republican convention last night, completing his turn on his former party with criticism of Barack Obama and strong support for the McCain-Palin ticket. Lieberman, who had criticized George W. Bush as the Vice Presidential candidate of the Democrats in 2000, has now changed his tune. Joe will likely be stripped of his chairmanship in January after the Democratic Party moves up to 55-57 votes in the Senate. When mentioned as a potential VP candidate for John McCain the Republican right reacted with outrage and threats to disrupt the convention. When mentioned anywhere in Democratic circles the disdain is palpable. Joe Lieberman, a man without a party. His delivery has not improved much since his disastrous performance as Gore’s VP nominee in 2000.
