Lieberman is a decent guy that could have represented all Americans, Rove had to use GOP speak to say that his pick was the same

HARRIS: There are some people who are crying or casting aspersions on that, that is that assertion, because of this selection of Dick Cheney and now the information coming out about his voting record. How do you answer those critics?

ROVE: Well, look, Dick Cheney is, Governor Bush said I want to pick somebody who could be President of the United States. Dick Cheney has served our country tremendously as Secretary of Defense during the Gulf War, as a member of Congress, as the youngest chief of staff for a President of the United States in history. This man is a great pick. He raises the bar for Al Gore. Al Gore now has to have somebody that the American people can look at and say, just like they look at Dick Cheney, and say that person could be president.
