If McCain was truly a maverick ?????

Question

Why didn't he pick Lieberman as his running mate? It has been widely reported that he really wanted offer that position to Lieberman. He is just a little ole granny for the Evangelicals in my book.

Answer 1

A house divided can not stand. McCain's move not to tap Lieberman, Romney, Huckabee or K. Hutchinson are deeply noted within the RNC. Underneath this fake layer of unity; lies alienation and divisiveness.  

Answer 2

I'd say "your book" is a misprint. Lieberman wouldn't have gotten him any of the "base" support that he needs. Same reason BHO didn't pick someone without any more experience than he has, which is zero.

I like Lieberman, but he wouldn't have been the right pick.  Besides, Lieberman had an excellent speech last night. He wasn't crying in his beer for not being selected.

McCain/Palin '08

Answer 3

McCain is no maverick.

And since he went over the heads of the powers that be in the Republican Party and picked someone he didn't thoroughly vet, he will be history should they don't win.

Answer 4

First of all,the word maverick is a word that orginated in Texas.It stared when a guy with the last name of maverick moved back east and let his cattle run wild.Evertime someone found a cow that wasn't branded,they said it was a maverick.Now if you think McCain hasn't been branded with the republician brand,and think he's a maverick,that's stretching things.The guy is going to sing their song,just in a different tune.The platform is there,he will follow it or else.

Answer 5

because he would not have gotten elected had he done that.

do you have any other dumb questions?

Answer 6

nothing to do with the question....but what does Biden being old have to do with McCain CLAIMING to be a "maverick" then stepping right in line with the RNC when they told him who he couldn't pick.

Answer 7

Oh, and Biden is a young, hip spring chicken to you, I suppose.

Answer 8

Maverick?

Phooey.

Try Political Opportunist.

Answer 9

The only reason he chose a woman was to pick up the Hillary votes. Period.
