can you fuckin' believe Al Gore picked him to be his vice presidential candidate? i mean maybe that was the Democrats' plan for getting Lieberman out of the senate but jesus what a turd that guy was. is there anyone besides John McCain who actually liked him?? in a sea of poo poo, joe lieberman is a turgid bolus of rat semen. good riddance to that rear end in a top hat. let's all take a moment to feel good about the fact that he's no longer making GBS threads up the senate.

I think Lieberman as VP came from a time when a President possibly would not be tonguing Israel's rear end in a top hat 24/7. Frankly I can't fathom why America isn't voting Sanders just to watch an old Brooklyn jew tell bibi to go gently caress himself.

There's been a lot of elections where a party could blame the youth vote's lack of turnout for why they lost, but Al Gore lost because the youth vote showed up, they were just loving stupid. Was someone's VP pick even really all that relevant before the information age to begin with? The news media cycle has changed a hell of a lot in 16 years. I seem to recall the vice presidency being the punchline of actual jokes prior to Cheney. (lol, anyone remember Dan Quayle jokes?) VPs do pretty minor things that the news media generally didn't cover in the age of print.

It's been pretty drat relevant every time a president has died in office, which has occurred several times. I don't think Sanders will win, but if he did, I'd bet on his VP being in the presidential office before 4 years was up. I don't think a VP candidate has ever been a huge factor in a race but they can certain have influence - I'd say Palin completely eliminated any remaining chance McCain previously had, for example. He was losing anyway, but she made it a certainty, and her VP candidacy had a pretty lasting negative influence on the GOP overall as well.

In the old days, the vice presidency was a dead end position where you stuck people whose political careers you wanted to kill (see: Teddy Roosevelt). Of course it worked out good for him because the president died. Secretary of state used to be the "is going to be the next president" job but now it's the dumping ground for people who have already tried to be president and lost.

My Favorited Joe Liberman anecdote is him starting his own political party, Connecticut for Joe Lieberman. The problem is the party had no registered members so some smart rear end Poli Sci prof switched his voter registration from Democrat to Connecticut for Joe Lieberman and unilaterally elected himself party president. Lieberman's followers attempted to register as the "real" Joe Lieberman for Connecticut Party and the whole thing splintered like a bunch of campus Trotskyists.

Al Gore lost because he thought Monicagate meant people didn't like Bill Clinton, who was wrapping up four years of managing to not leave the country in neutral with the parking brake disengaged (while setting it on fire), which is what passes for success now. So he set out to distance himself from Bill and all his success, which if you're gonna set those terms no poo poo Team Rocket is gonna win. Watch Hillary do the same stupid poo poo this time around.
