[QUOTE="RocksInMyHead, post: 75264088, member: 284142"] You're never going to find many people who match your political views exactly, no matter what they are. Obama wasn't the liberal that I am, neither was Hillary, nor is Biden. That doesn't mean they aren't politically liberal. I'm aware. Given his statements about not being politically aware in 2008 though, it seemed reasonable to assume that this latest round of McCain criticism had more influence on his opinions. And while the Tea Party saw Palin as balancing the ticket, independents didn't. Ultimately, I think that a McCain/Lieberman ticket would have performed better. The far right wouldn't have abandoned McCain in enough numbers to cause him to lose any states he won with Palin, and he would have picked up significantly more of the independent/undecided vote with a more moderate VP. That's essentially the strategy that Obama used. As a fairly center-left politician, he picked a more moderate VP in Biden. And it worked. [/QUOTE]
