Lieberman Endorses McCain
I shy away from blogs that mix politics with their cultural commentary, so it's slightly hypocritical for me to make this particular post. But with so much at stake again, that surely would be "a foolish consistency".
Happy to see that today Joe Leiberman has endorsed John McCain for president. "On all the issues, you're never going to do anything about them unless you have a leader who can break through the partisan gridlock," Lieberman said. "The status quo in Washington is not working." Of all the alternate histories that play in my head, none is more powerful than the thought of what a different world we'd live in if it was President McCain on Sept 11 instead of President Bush.
Despite not being affiliated with a party as long as I've lived in NY, I have been a long-time McCain supporter, pushing for him in the 2000 nomination and voting for him as a write-in candidate in 2004. (That was an interesting experience, requiring members of both parties to join me in the booth to explain the procedure to ensure that one or the other didn't give me false instructions!)
