John McCain and Barack Obama are both narrowing down the choices for Vice-President, and Joe Lieberman (one time Democrat, turned Independent) is evidently on McCain's short list.

That would be a strange turn of events considering that Lieberman ran as Al Gore's Vice-President in 2000 on the Democratic ticket.

The good news is that Joe Lieberman could be good for gays in Washington. According to About.com, Lieberman may not support gay marriage; but he is definitely gay friendly.

Lieberman supports the Employment Non-Discrimination Act Reintroduced Employment Non-Discrimination Act. He was a co-sponor of the original ENDA.

Lieberman is a co-sponor of a bill that would amend the Federal Hate Crimes Law to include sexual orientation.

Lieberman supports giving gays and lesbians the same rights as heterosexuals to adopt children.

Lieberman supports a repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell, which would allow gay and lesbian soldiers to serve openly in the military.

Interesting,.huh? This is in no way an endorsement for a McCain/ Lieberman ticket, but it would be nice if he slipped in a gay friendly V.P!

Lieberman's chances probably aren't very good, and it might rattle the Republican party. He did, however, recently announce a trip to Georgia thus looking very Vice-Presidential!
