Then why were so many flipping out when Lieberman was brought up as a name for McCain in 2008? They may respect him but I doubt they want him as VP either.

“many” were

But even more weren’t

Like any running mate (regardless of party) there are going to be a faction of people that are displeased with it

Do you think the dems were 100% united behind Biden? I seem to recall a huge push for Hillary (DREAM TICKET, I believe they were calling it)

Many on the right weren’t thrilled that Bush chose Cheney (“recycled ,,we need fresh and new,,, a woman or a minority”)
