The other party's upcoming choice

MANIFESTO

From Thomas Schaller at Salon.com:

The thought of a McCain-Lieberman ticket is nauseating. On the other hand, I can think of at least two upsides:

One, listening to Lieberman speak is about as pleasing as shaving with a cheese grater—those nasally, drawn out words; the heavy dollop of condescension; his terrible use of non-verbals. (On this last: Does he not have the phoniest fist-pump-in-the-air of any politician ever?) Lieberman speaking on Wednesday night of the Republican convention could damage McCain, especially if Joe goes Zell Miller.

Second, watching Lieberman lose again in a bid to become a heartbeat away—well, that would be delicious.
