That's the headline NewsMax calls breaking news.The same way the supermarket tabloids entice you to read them. If you read the article it starts.
Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman, the Democratic vice presidential nominee in 2000 who won re-election as an independent last year, says he is open to supporting any party's White House nominee in 2008.
"So I'm open to supporting a Democrat, Republican or even an Independent, if there's a strong one. Stay tuned," said the three-term lawmaker who caucuses with Senate Democrats.
The senator said he wanted to select someone "I believe is best for the future of our country. ... Party is important, but more important is the national interest. And that's the basis that I will decide whom to support for president."
He caucuses with Democrats.
They will tell him anything to get his support.
I may believe all this if he were to caucuse with the Republicans, but that's not going to happen. Lieberman is a liberal.
The bottom line is;
He may back a Democrat, Republican or even an Independent in 2008
If he does a Zell Miller at the Republican convention I may believe him.
But by that time if McCain is nominated he will select Lieberman as his running mate. Which will give a liberal the swing vote.
Then what's the difference? McCain - Lieberman two peas in a pod.
