That two Sam Houstin style Texans stayed in their Senate races when running for VP would not be seen as a case of "classiness by association" for Lieberman here in New England. What I think is that Lieberman was afraid of losing and having to get a job if he and Gore lost.

There was no consensus regarding Gore's choice of Lieberman. Joe had never done well nationally. There is no region of THIS country where his personality and style go over well. His individual attempts at national office have all failed badly.

In response to "I think Lieberman became irrational after 9/11. I think he's got some kind of PTSD that mixes it all up with Israel and the Holocaust and enemies everywhere. He's totally paranoid. Him as VP or Secretary of Defense is totally scary."

Think back to the election campaign of 2000. Al Gore chose Lieberman as Vice-Presidential candidate. I never understood that. Was it because Al really liked or respected Lieberman? Was it in a cheap pander to the Jewish voters? Nevermind.

What did Lieberman do. First he chose to stay in the Connecticut Senate race. The balance in the Senate was at stake Joe said. Horsesh!t. There is no way a Republican could have won in CT that 2000 Senate race. I think that Joe never learned as a little boy how to behave on the playground. If you play with the big kids you don't also stay in the game with the third graders. Running for VP you quit the Senate race. Why? Because you expect to win! You play to win! Did joe play to win? Recall the VP debate with Dick Cheney. What did Joe do? Practically sat in Cheney's lap licking his face.

No, it was not 9/11 that created Liberman. It was much earlier than that. Probably in the playground when he was a kid. He is still a whiner. Puke. And he is MY Senator. Sick in Connecticut.

Tom Lantos is a huge loss. His insightful comments on situations were always relevant. He marched alone sometimes but his drummer was steady and reliable. In the House of Represenatives for almost three decades, his was a voice of reason and reasonableness. A problem analyzer and solver of the first order.
