What's the Deal With Lieberman and McCain

The BFF John and Joe tour is hitting the trial hot and heavy. It is obvious that Lieberman doesn't care what the Democratic leadership or voters think about him. He got the Republicans in Connecticut to help get re-elected in 2006, and now he is embracing John McCain who is seen by some as being a black sheep in the Republican Party like Joe is with the Democrats. If you listen Rush Limbaugh and the right wing noise machine they have similar complaints about McCain. That he is not one of us and if anything takes great delight in going against the grain and do things to annoy the base of the party. Unlike Lieberman because John McCain is running for president he is far more active and interested in wooing the base and trying to prove that he is a true blue conservative. The question I have is the Joe and John tour really going to help McCain. I know they have Iraq and the war on terror in common and is probably the main reason they appear to be joined at the hip these days. However to me this just angers Democrats who already had plenty of issues with Holy Joe, and for McCain embracing Lieberman just proves that Rush was right all along about McCain. It just seems like an odd pairing. Maybe they should just give it up and become running mates, and would be the sort of Republican teaming up the sort of Democrat. McCain/Lieberman pissing of all the sides in 2008.
