The Republican Big Tent
No, I did not watch every minute of the Democratic Party's convention and, no, I will not watch every minute of the Republican Party's. Matter of fact, I missed much of Senator Fred Thompson's speech last night. But I was not going to miss Senator Joseph Lieberman's speech.
Who could not be impressed that a sitting Democratic Senator gave such a rousing endorsement of the Republican ticket?
It was good to see and hear Sen. Lieberman get such a warm welcome and such continuous applause during his speech. I was reminded, in stark contrast, of how Democrats booed and hissed when Republican's were shown at the funeral for Sen. Paul Wellstone.
It was extremely odd to hear Sen. Lieberman extol President Clinton for working across the party aisle and to hear the convention floor applaud. At the Republican convention! Very odd. Sen. Lieberman could have retired on a bet he could have made weeks ago that he'd be able to say such things and get such a reaction.
Nevertheless, the Republican Party again proves it has the bigger tent. Sen. Lieberman was his Party's choice for Vice President just 8 years ago.

Since you seem to be big on making predictions, what do you think the odds are that Palin drops out of the race?
Anonymous,
Without having looked at a news site in 4 hours, I'll say there is absolutely zero chance Palin won't be the VP candidate.
What, the liberal extremists who control the media aren't going to tar Romney for his Mormonism?
Ridge for his pro-choice beliefs?
Powell for the obvious pandering?
And on I can go with the "disqualifying" problem for any other VP candidate.
