It is and more.. Why try to associate Gov Shapiro with Cha Aug 2024 #8

Exactly. A not so subtle inference for sure. JohnSJ Aug 2024 #19

No, it is not true, but it is funny... Eliot Rosewater Aug 2024 #63

I never viewed Lieberman as a moderate personally, and as time went on, he proved me correct. msfiddlestix Aug 2024 #3

Didnt He Make An Appearance At The Republican Convention ??? Rubyshoo Aug 2024 #6

lieberman turned out to be a closet repub. nt msongs Aug 2024 #4

I had no problem with Lieberman when Gore picked him SocialDemocrat61 Aug 2024 #11

I pretty much followed the same path you did back then. Tadpole Raisin Aug 2024 #14

Exactly. What the OP is implying in terms of Lieberman's reception was simply not the case. hlthe2b Aug 2024 #18

Lieberman then served as chair of the Democratic Leadership Council from 1995 to 2001. Celerity Aug 2024 #34

Yes. And Gore felt the need to distance himself from Clinton somewhat in 2000 election-- hlthe2b Aug 2024 #37

I should've said why I posted that reply. I posted it to show that Lieberman was long known to be a centrist/Third Way, Celerity Aug 2024 #41

True.. But I think, like me, most voters were pragmatic enough to look past that as Gore's choice... hlthe2b Aug 2024 #42

I was 3 years old for most of 2000, lol, BUT I've deeply (at a proper academic level) studied American political history Celerity Aug 2024 #46
