Joe, now a Republican? Nope, just a another Lieberman Humdrum September 3, 2008

“What after all, is a Democrat like me doing at a Convention like this?”

No worries, he just showed up to the RNC to support John McCain and of course, to get Democrats to vote for a Republican.  But since his 2004 victory with John Kerry in Wisconsin, why isn’t the old Joe in the state more, conducting townhall meetings in mid-small media markets?  Just a suggestion maybe.

We certainly weren’t expecting a Zel Miller speech.  Hell, that actually scared us all back in 2004.  We initially tought we could expect maybe a crossover like the great 94 West $1 million dollar boondoggle to make sure WI’s bureaucrats got to work on time to Madison during the flooding.  But at the end of the day, it wasn’t just another Joe Lieberman humdrum, it maybe swayed a few Democrats.  But instead of going after Democrats, the GOP and McCains campaign needs to put together a solid plan, with Palin leading, to reach out and get the Social Conservatives energized and organized.  Period.
