Rumor is (and it is only a rumor, but given all the other stuff he's done lately, it seems like a likely rumor) that McCain really really really wanted his pal Lieberman right up until the last minute, and was finally convinced that the Republican base would lose its collective minds over the selection. Not that this makes the Palin choice any better, of course; in some ways, if this is true, it makes it even worse.
