Lieberman Rules Out Running With McCain

January 29, 2008 · Filed Under Politics, Republicans

Joe Lieberman is ruling out even the possibility of being John McCain’s running mate this election season.

“No, I’d tell him, ‘Thanks, John, I’ve been there, I’ve done that. You can find much better,’” Lieberman told The Associated Press during an interview Tuesday in his Senate office. “I’m not seeking anything else.”

Lieberman’s endorsement of McCain in December and the campaigning he since has done in states such as New Hampshire, Michigan, South Carolina and Florida have led to speculation that the Arizona senator might choose Lieberman as his running mate.

I personally think it would be quite make for a very interesting ticket. Republicans have a lot of respect for Joe Lieberman, because he’s one of the last remaining Democrats that isn’t a left-wing lunatic.
