I don't like Lieberman that much. I can't put my finger on why.
He seems off somehow. I like McCain. Too bad we don't have
him now.

He is nowhere near extreme enough to win the support of the Falwell
branch of the Republicans. I voted for McCain in the primary last
time, but the unfortunate state of affairs is that the parties are
controlled by activists and the activists tend to be extremists. When
you get right down to it, abortion is the only real litmus test for
these folks...the rest is just noise and smoke. I would vote for
McCain in a minute over anyone on either side, but he is like a man on
an island in Washington.
