Joe Lieberman gets the possibly crucial seal of approval from Bill Kristol, who writes in today's Times that Lieberman's domestic-policy liberalism and support for abortion wouldn't matter because "McCain has made clear his will be a pro-life administration."
Many pro-Obama folks I know are certainly cheering for McCain to pick Lieberman on the assumption that conservatives will abandon the ticket in droves.
I think that's probably right. The one concern I have about Lieberman is that, jerkazoid that he is, he'll rip into Obama with lusty glee every chance he gets, which would be exactly the opposite of how he behaved alongside Al Gore in 2000.
