Prometheus 6

...an outstanding idea.

Rich Lowry of The National Journal, however, outlines one scenario in which a Lieberman selection makes sense. Mr. Lowry correctly argues that John McCain would have to pledge to serve only one term in office, while Mr. Lieberman would have to promise not to seek the presidency in 2012. An increasing number of conservative Republicans have begun to argue that the party would benefit from four years on the outside in order to rethink a conservative agenda and sharpen its message. Knowing that the two would depart after one term would give them the opportunity to retool without risking a more extended period outside the gates of power. And those four years would be much easier with a Democrat-turned-independent serving as vice president than dealing with a President Obama in the Oval office.
