    Good find, Neo. Can't wait to see what happens Friday. Will Bush/Cheney/Rove prevail?

    LMAO The way my screen was positioned, the side article for this post read Rove Tried to Kill Lieberman!!!!! Friday's announcement is the only thing I intend to listen to from the Rep convention...or pre-convention. McSame has no real quality to choose from that will really help him.

    Republicans should be outraged by this kind of activity from the 'Talking Heads' of the Party. If I was McCain, I would pick Lieberman...it will show the nation that he is willing to stand up against his own party.

    Lieberman is mild mannered but he should have told Rove to shove that phone he was using to make this call up his A**

    I highly doubt McCain would pick Lieberman. He'd alienate his base of hard core Republicans which he can not afford to lose if he wants any chance of winning this election. So pick Lieberman, McCain!

    I think he's going to pick Hillary.

    Boy I can hear Obama's jaw hitting the floor now.

    Rove seems to know a thing or two about winning elections, I would listen to him.

    That Judas Democrat Lieberman was certainly feeding all the Democratic moves and strategies to the Neocons when running for Democratic VP...

    What a creep.

    Interesting scenario if Liberman is chosen VP which would plot Jews against Muslims in the presidential race..

    I get the idea that most of the posters on this story would like Lieberman to be the choice.

    I doubt that Rove confides in neo what his strategy might be ...

    This is really a non issue. With Lieberman on the ticket the Conservatives would stay home in droves. McCain would not be that stupid. If you want to know who is going to be the VP pick look at who is traveling to be with McCAin today. The announce will be made together tomorrow.

      Indoscopy : You missed the point this litmus test is not about ninth month abortions, or post birth abortion that Obama is trying to get into law.No its about the Iraq war,and who do you want win.Lieberman took americas side.Now you can understand the democrats anger.Its the same way John Soros felt when america and the allies brought Germany to her knees.He says he wants see us on our backs,therefore he willing to fund every democrat who agrees with him.

        I did see him (Rove) on a broadcast say the story on Politico.com was bogus.

        WOW Un F-ing believable!

        Just yesterday Spadecaller posted a rant about
        Unsubstantiated,
        Racist,
        Character Attacks;
        Propeller’s Front Page

        600 plus comments most agreed with Spadecaller
        The problem is “Unsubstantiated” “rumor” “old biddy gossip” leads to Racist,
        Character Attacks and effect an election. Or more to the point

        Unsubstantiated TO effect an election.

        As I pointed out, “Isn’t that the description of Propellers front page?”
        I found the soapbox most “lefties” espoused their agreement with Spadecaller.

        Now please re-read “this article”

        “urged him to contact John McCain to withdraw his name from vice presidential consideration, according to three sources familiar with the conversation.”

        3 un-named un-known sources is no more valid than 1 un-named un-known source.
        It’s hearsay, rumor.

        “Lieberman dismissed the request, these sources agreed.”

        3 un-named un-known sources.

        did not call [McCain] on it,” said one source familiar with the details.”

        1 un-named un-known source

        “recounted a second source. “Lieberman told him he would not make that call.”

        1 un-named un-known source

        ”Rove, President Bush’s former top…. has no formal role in McCain’s campaign… and has been offering informal advice, both over the phone and in his position as a Fox News analyst”

        0 named or un-named source

        “His decision to wade into the vice presidential selection process could provide Democrats fresh ammunition to tie McCain to the polarizing Bush”.

        It doesn't matter who McCain chooses, the majority of the American people are so over the GOP and what it has done to their lives that they want a change.

        It's time to clean house!!

        Of course that won't happen with an just an election, all the lobbyists and corporate interests have to go to!! There should be no special interests in government, but that will never happen so it will be politics as usual either way. It's just a matter of choosing the lesser of two evils.

        There is no politician in government that I agree with 100% of the time. I actually like most of the things Lieberman says but not all.

        Heck I even liked the speech Barack Obama gave tonight for the most part.
