ABC News: McCain-Lieberman 'Bro-mance' a Two-Way Street ("My affection begins with my respect")

[Amerigo Vespucci]

McCain called in to a Connecticut morning radio show being hosted by Sen. Lieberman, Ind-Conn., from his Washington office and when asked if he'd "steal" Lieberman from his home state to serve in his administration, McCain responded "Joe Lieberman will lead this nation in many ways."

Continued McCain, "He can pretty much do whatever he wants. Always, my affection for him begins with my respect for him."

The admiration between the Senate colleagues seemed mutual and "love" blossomed bright.

"One of the reasons I love this guy and support him with my whole heart for president he has consistently on Iraq and everything else has done what's right for the country and not his own political self-interest," Lieberman said.

2. Seriously and I have no idea why

Some say it was to lock up the Jewish vote... which is overwhelmingly Dem (second only to AA's year after year). And I don't know ANY Jews that weren't at least little afraid of having Lie-Berman representing us to the world.
