Inspired by this morning’s New York Sun editorial, arguing that the surest way to put Maverick over the top in battleground states is to add a Democratic apostate to the ticket. Yes, he’s excellent on the war and always delivers a tender cut of red meat when opining on his own party, but do we really want a guy who voted no on Alito one 72-year-old heartbeat away from the presidency? If we’re willing to tolerate a pro-choice VP, toss Ridge on there and pick up Pennsylvania.
Even so, I’m intrigued by this as a test of right-wing blog readers — not their admiration of Liebs, necessarily, but of their abiding antipathy to Huck. How’s about it, HA commenters? Imagine Maverick’s shortlist is down to two; either one’s going to piss off a lot of people. Let’s see, in our own highly unscientific way, who’ll piss off more.
Update: Whoops, last poll was broken. Sorry for the hassle. Please re-vote!

Ask your questions apacalps I am a Christian too.
PierreLegrand on May 19, 2008 at 2:28 PM
Eyeroll. So if Huckabee isn’t on the ticket, evangelicals won’t vote. A strong, actually accomplished religious conservative governor like Owens (term limited out in CO) or Riley (my gov in AL) just wouldn’t be good enough.
That’s really stupid.
funky chicken on May 19, 2008 at 2:29 PM
I’d vote against the one that ran with Gore.
Either way, I’d rather take a kick to the groin…
revolutionismyname on May 19, 2008 at 2:29 PM
Word is McCain voted for Gore.
ThackerAgency on May 19, 2008 at 2:31 PM
I think I understand this. Evangelical Christians believe their faith to be one and the same as that taught by Reverend Jeremiah Wright that they feel compelled Obama in the absence of Huck. Right?
thuja on May 19, 2008 at 2:31 PM
Lieberman has already been thisclose to being VP and I don’t remember his being Jewish being an issue…if it was, I don’t really want to know the details but I would like to know if it was a big issue.
He’s known and completely vetted. Choosing a female running mate would be a much more obvious case of Republicans “countering with their own identity politics” IMO.
RushBaby on May 19, 2008 at 2:32 PM
Yep. Just like clockwork, here they come!!!! …. like zombies, each uglier than the other, breakdancing to the new hate-Huckabee anthem.
apacalyps on May 19, 2008 at 2:32 PM

Sure, go ahead. You might want to ask a few of the Huckster first, such as “Can you define for me what you meant by ‘Taliban Baptists’?” or, “Why do you refer to folks who want employer sanctions for hiring illegals ‘racists’”, or “Why did you divert campaign funds from fellow Christians running as republicans to their democratic opponents?” or even simple things like, “How can you run as a conservative with your record of tax increases, spending increases, and pardoning felons at a rate unmatched by three of your predecessors combined?”
Think_b4_speaking on May 19, 2008 at 2:32 PM
As a Christian who attends a Baptist church every Sunday:
Over the last month or so I’ve managed to swallow my rising bile and decide to vote for McCain. Huckabee on the ticket would send me right back to my plan of writing in David Petraeus.
vonspringer on May 19, 2008 at 2:32 PM
This is truly depressing. My nasal passages have been ravaged by such foul odors for so long I’m not sure if it will recognize the smell of sweet conservatism if it returns.

Recall what they say when you assume…
JohnAGJ on May 19, 2008 at 2:32 PM
They aren’t doing it for the “Jew” vote, but for the undecided vote. Or the “black guilt” vote, Obama is a waste, give them something of a “minority” that has substance, is liberal, and they will justify swinging the vote from Obama to McCain.
It would throw the race into a tizzy. Lieberman overcame the Kos attack, and would be able to distance himself, while painting Obama with that extreme left brush.
There are so many goods, and so few bads. The VP makes no policies, rarely votes, it is in essence an empty suit. You select the person who can garner the most votes…and he can garner them. I think that throws NY into play, and Ca into play, Florida, and Texas, maybe even Mass. What more do you want?

well at least not for Bush. Pretty devastating news. Guess he thought the country would be better off without Bush, or with Gore, or that the Republicans would re-constitute themselves after a disastrous Bush presidency. Seems like there’s a method to his madness.

Exactly. I’m a conservative Christian, poxonyourlips. I don’t believe a word Huckster says; he is a deceiver and a religious bigot.
And that should be the Christian position for voting against him.
amerpundit, if that was you questionning the “largely conservative” reference, I defend that. Even including the issues that he waffles, he is “largely” conservative, which is to say just to the right of RINO.
Jaibones on May 19, 2008 at 2:37 PM
You’re not qualified to make that statement.
Slublog on May 19, 2008 at 2:38 PM
I voted RINO cuz I thought of Liebs on the ticket as a ‘RINO.’ Am I the only one? The scariest thing about Mr. Huckabee is: If he was just a little bit smoother, savvier, less stupid, he’d be in either position on the ticket.
They ran in 2000. Liebs is acceptable to the one-issue voters as he has proven to be one of the few sane Dems in the WOT.
silverfox on May 19, 2008 at 2:38 PM
Lieberman… by miles and miles and miles…
Kaptain Amerika on May 19, 2008 at 2:38 PM
Once again, I didn’t vote in the poll. McCain and the Mccaniacs don’t care about me or my opinions so, I’m on my way to another thread.

I think the Huck shot his chance in the foot when he made that wisecrack about Obama ducking the gun.
If he’s the VP nominee, the Dems will loop that comment over and over in their anti-McCain commercials 24/7.

That’s not the salesman’s joke, is it?
maverick muse on May 19, 2008 at 2:41 PM
Unless McCain can resurrect Ronald Reagan for his VP choice, there is no one he could put on the ticket to get me to vote for him. He is a professional politician who would say almost anything to get elected. He is only slightly better than either of the two he is running against.
Barr for President.
King of the Britons on May 19, 2008 at 2:41 PM
Lieberman is Mac’s first choice and will pick him if he thinks he can get away with it.
Joe Lieberman on the issues.
A few excertps:
#Allow driver’s license for immigrants. (Jan 2004)
# Support reparation legislations. (Jan 2004)
# Sunset the Patriot Act. (Nov 2003)
#50% Excess Profits Tax on oil companies’ undeserved profit. (Oct 2006)
# Raise CAFE standard from 27.5 mpg to 40, including SUVs. (Jan 2004)
Voted NO on drilling ANWR on national security grounds. (Apr 2002)
# Voted YES on removing oil & gas exploration subsidies. (Jun 2007)
Buy Danish on May 19, 2008 at 2:41 PM
Please guys, get real! The only one who can save this country is Hillary. Obama as a president will destroy America. Given the upcoming Democrat majority in the Senate, McCain as a president will destroy the Republicans. Clinton, on the other hand, will destroy the Democrats giving us hope for 2012.

Ragnell on May 19, 2008 at 2:41 PM
If either Lieberman or Huckabee are on the ticket, McCain will get absolutely obliterated in November.
BallisticBob on May 19, 2008 at 2:41 PM
How hard is it to understand that “partially” doesn’t mean that everyone opposed is racist? It is an honest answer…yes, there are some racists in this country, so yes, opposition to amnesty is partially due to racism. He didn’t say, “If you oppose this, you are racist.” That’s a distortion.
Just like saying that Huckabee’s joke at the NRA was about someone “trying to shoot” Obama is a distortion.
“Trying to shoot” someone takes three things:
1) Ready (ammo loaded, safety off)
2) Aim
3) Fire (pull trigger)
Huckabee’s joke was only about #2. You incorrectly imply #1 and #3 when you misquote Huckabee (he said “aimed a gun at”, AP said “trying to shoot”).
That’s not fair, and distorts a joke about Obama’s reaction to seeing a gun pointed at him (admittedly a bad joke), and turns that into a joke about an assassination attempt (a horrific statement).
That distortion is worse than the joke!
I don’t defend the joke, but that distortion and bias in the MSM and by Allahpundit onHotAir is worse than the joke.

apacalyps on May 19, 2008 at 2:35 PM
In three short words you summed up why so many people left/right/center have trouble with modern Christianity. It’s not the Christ part of it, but some of the Christians who claim to carry his banner. I turned my life over to Christ on July 29, 1976 at the ripe age of 9, married my high school sweetie & are active members in our southern baptist church and I’ll state in a straightforward manner that any time someone claiming the high & mighty throne of deciding whether or not someone is a Christian based entirely on their voting preferences they’re either ignorable or worthy of little more than a thump on the jaw.
Don’t worry about the usual “but you claimed to be a Christian, how could you endorse violence?” cliche’, I’m already forgiven for it, y’see.
Grow up or shut up. People like you are to the Christian movement what Markos Moulitsas is to blogging: an example of the cesspool.
Ugh.
rjwest21 on May 19, 2008 at 2:43 PM
The Pharisees were themselves the most bitter, and deadly, opponents of Jesus Christ and His message.
So not supporting Huck shows that we are the opponents of Christ?
I don’t think you mean that.
Or are you talking about the minority, who is like the Pharisees whom, perhaps meant to obey God, but eventually they became so devoted and extremist as to not see the messiah when he appeared. In other words blinded by their own faith.
Or was it because the Pharisees are known as the “blue collar” Jews?
right2bright on May 19, 2008 at 2:43 PM
No.
vonspringer on May 19, 2008 at 2:43 PM
In my experience the “Pharisee” label is incorrectly applied to just suggest hypocrite. What’s usually lacking is that the Pharisee’s were hypocrites in that they claimed to be knowledgable of the scriptures but yet ignored all the signs and denied that Christ was the messiah.
shick on May 19, 2008 at 2:44 PM

Gilda on May 19, 2008 at 2:45 PM
Not exactly. Word is he didn’t vote for Bush. Cindy McCain wrote in “John McCain”. We don’t know if John did the same or if he voted for Gore. My guess is that he wrote in his own name. He’d have had to have been extremely bitter to have voted for Gore.
Red Pill on May 19, 2008 at 2:46 PM
I like Lieberman. I just don’t think he brings a lot of votes with him to McCain (they’re both a couple of old hawks). NY would go to Obama even if McCain put Rudy on the ticket.

Hardly Slublog. I just can’t reason with someone who thinks a person’s words do not give us a picture of who they are, or where they are in their lives. Our words, that you regard so carelessly, will be the words we are either justified or condemned by, as our Lord Jesus Christ Himself says:
“For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.” Matthew 12:37
Every unnecessary (ie, idle, empty) word we will have to give an account of in the day of judgment.
Jesus said “every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.” Matthew 12:36
So you’ll have to excuse me if I’m a little hesitant trying to reason with someone who feels words mean so little.
apacalyps on May 19, 2008 at 2:48 PM

But he has no power as VP, he is there to clean up the votes. What was the last bill sponsored and past by a VP?
Everyone is uptight, you use the office to gain votes, that’s it, just to gain votes. He has no real power, none.
right2bright on May 19, 2008 at 2:51 PM
The VP needs to be a smart and pursuasive schmoozer like LBJ was for Kennedy–get the colleagues in the President’s pocket. These days, the VP makes a lot of diplomatic trips, needing to be very strong there.
maverick muse on May 19, 2008 at 2:52 PM
Because Bob Riley is such a liberal, he wouldn’t be good enough for VP…only zombie Reagan or (!) a nutter like Bob Barr will suffice.
Mark Sanford’s a real commie too.
That Pawlenty seems to have a sense of humor, and so does his wife. In the Obama era, well, that’s just not acceptable.
Riley would be a good choice, but I haven’t heard even a whisper that he’s being looked at. Here’s some info:

Hey, Huck, your operatives are getting slaughtered here. You’re wasting your time on the exceptionally well-informed, genuinely conservative audience here at Hot Air. Most of us considered you carefully a year ago and said no way. Your zealot defenders are not going to persuade us because we look at evidence and think for ourselves. In fact, they’re probably driving us even further away. Go find a blog populated by people with IQs in the single digits; you’ll have more luck there.

The right-wing intelligentsia opposed McCain from the beginning, but the Republican primary voters wanted a president candidate who could win in what they knew was a bad year. Now, the right-wing intelligentsia wants McCain to win because they afraid of what Obama will do. McCain could ask Ted Kennedy to be his VP and he’s still get the vote of 95% of Republican right.

Opposes the war in Iraq, but voted for it. Opposes the Patriot Act, but voted for it. Opposes big government spending, but voted for Medicare PartD, which even McCain didn’t. His stance on immigration isn’t too shiny, either.
amerpundit on May 19, 2008 at 2:58 PM
Also with Huck, he destoryed the republican party when he was governor. There is NO ONE running against the Arkansas sentor right now that should tell people how horrible Mike is.
BroncosRock on May 19, 2008 at 2:58 PM
Huckabee is a RINO, but Lieberman is not a DINO.
For one thing, Lieberman is officially an “independent”. For another, he is a rock solid liberal vote on every issue but Iraq.

Think_b4_speaking on May 19, 2008 at 3:01 PM
I like Lieberman. I just don’t think he brings a lot of votes with him to McCain (they’re both a couple of old hawks).
I (respectfully) disagree, to a point.
Lieberman could give a speech & say “you know, the Democrats are telling you that John McCain is just more of Bush and that Barack Obama represents change. Well, I am living proof of just how the democratic party has changed. 8 years ago I was considered a moderate Democrat worthy of being vice-president, today I’m considered so far to the right that the party doesn’t want me any more and they think the left-wing agenda of Barack Obama is indicative of most of you. My fellow Americans, you can look at my record, I haven’t changed one bit. The Democratic party has moveon.orged itself so far to the left that their #2 standard bearer is now persona non grata and they think that John McCain, someone that the conservative movement feels isn’t ‘conservative enough’, is the modern day fascist du jour. Well, after George Bush, that is.
Who do you think is more representative of YOU?”
-
Remember, the goal isn’t to get the votes of the right & left, it’s to get the mushy center. If you want to play the “we’ll get a righty on the ticket and then we’ll be happy” game, then fine. How did you like President Dole’s tenure with Vice President Kemp? How’d that one work out?
I’d love a conservative ticket. Since MCcain’s at the top, we ain’t getting one. So, what kinda judges do you want? If you have a McCain/Huck ticket or a McCain/Romney ticket, you’re going to get the ones that Barack Obama picks, pure and simple. Virginia is GONE. Ohio is GONE. What’s going to get them back? Huck? Romney?

I suspect the VP nominee will have little direct effect on Roe vs Wade as such, but he might have a lot to do with whether McCain wins and is able to select candidates for the SC. Looking at it that way, Huckster’s presence on the ticket will probably ensure Obama makes the selections.

You might try and update your bible.
“Thou shalt not murder”, is the correct verse.
God had no problem with killing, read some of the O.T. You know that part of the bible that begins with Genesis?

How does it feel to be the subject of ridicule…does it make you feel like a martyr? Does it give you power to know that you alone are standing up to the evil people of the post? Kind of like the Pharisees, you know what is right and no one will tell you, no one can tell you…no one can tell you.
Why you can even look down upon us and claim we are heathens, damned to hell for all eternity. You can see that clearly can’t you. God has revealed that to you, you have the “eye”, you have the God given talent, the “gift” to discern who is faithful and who is not. And you will be martyred for it, just like Christ. Yes, relish it, God speaks to you when you are alone, telling you we are not worthy. You are chosen to teach us, and those who deny you (thus God) are forever damned, unless we repent and ask you for forgiveness…great is your power.
Doesn’t it feel great…to bask in the glory and love of God, while pointing out our failings…don’t you feel great, how lucky you are to be so chosen.

We have two political parties running for president today; the Democrat Party (Obama and Clinton) and the Democrat Light Party (McCain/Lieberman). Can someone tell me when the Republicans will announce a candidate?
I’m still waiting…

It’s widely forgotten now, in the interests of painting the Schavio matter as “Return Of The Rightwing Theocrats’, but Barack Obama voted with Lieberman, Harkin, Reid, and many other Democrats in support of that measure. So I guess we could go with a McCain/Obama ticket.

LOL. But considering Teddy’s lack of longevity, McCain would have the probable opportunity to choose another VP after a while.
Why was age such a big deal vs. Fred Thompson by his detractors when it no longer matters now that McCain’s on the ticket? Where are the up and coming names again? Someone used to bring up a lady from Alaska as a choice at first. What’s up?
