WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Reports of strong support within John McCain's presidential campaign for Independent Democratic Sen. Joseph Lieberman as the Republican candidate for vice president are not a fairy tale. Influential McCain backers, plus McCain himself, would pick the pro-choice liberal from Connecticut if they thought they could get away with it.

But they can't get away with it -- and this has been made clear to McCain by none other than Joe Lieberman himself.

Lieberman surely doesn't know that much about Republican politics, but he has close Republican friends. One of them prevailed on Lieberman to tell McCain that a McCain-Lieberman ticket would be a disaster for all concerned, and especially for the GOP.

My nightmare would be that the Americans might just be stupid enough to elect them.

Puh-leeze. "Americans" don't elect republicans. Diebold does.

Has there ever been any studies or data on Lieberman's effect on the Gore/Lieberman ticket in 2000? Did he help or hinder? There is no way the Repugs will put him on the ticket.

Lieberman was a disaster on the 2000 ticket. He proved he was either an incompetent campaigner or a turncoat in that debate where he basically just agreed with everything Cheney said and sucked up to him.

Novak is actually right about something? Well, not quite.

Lieberman would be a disaster as a VP, but Novak decided to pick all of the wrong reasons.

We'll know in 48 hours.
