>>>>FWIW, I'm hearing that as recently as Sunday a week ago, McCain still had his heart set on Lieberman and his advisors insisted he couldn't do that. I could spin a couple of theories based on that, but I won't (at least not right now)

>>>Good thing you don't do it, because you and those you are hearing, most likely, are not privy to that information so it is just empty allegations. Hopefully, you are not going to tell that you would vote for McCain if he selects Lieberman.

>>Since the ones I'm hearing this from are NBC and NPR, I kind of think there's something to this and that insiders are telling them this.

>>And no, I wouldn't be voting for McCain if Lieberman were on the ticket. I don't agree with McCain about much of anything. I disagree with Lieberman less, I suspect (and he was my son's across-the-hall neighbor very briefly), but I didn't much like him when Gore picked him and I like him less now. I don't vote a candidate just because he's Jewish any more than I vote for one just because she's a woman. All other things being equal (which they never are), those factors might come into play, but they don't outweigh policy.

>Thank you, for the confirmation. It somehow makes strange or not that you hint on that idea. When someone says that he 'could spin couple theories' and then immediately says 'I won't', it makes 2nd part a bit less believable, just because it is already pronounced.

I didn't have time when I wrote that message to spell out what I was thinking. Basically, I find myself wondering if McCain really wants Lieberman on the ticket badly enough to pick someone who'll have to be replaced and then he can do what he wants.
