Glad for 2000

Boy, when you put it like that, I'm really glad Gore lost in 2000:

In other words, had it not been for [GOP vote-theft in 2000], Lieberman would be vice president, the Iraq war in all likelihood never would have happened, and Lieberman's increasingly mutual estrangement from the Democratic Party would be unthinkable.

Except that Liberman would, in all likelihood, be the presumptive nominee for the 2008 Democratic party. And, backed by 8 years of incumbency, that would be terrifying.

Oh, and if you think that being veep would have kept Lieberman from sticking the knife in Gore's back, you're dreaming. He didn't hesitate to try and torpedo Clinton, and he was happy to scuttle Gore's attempts for justice in Florida. Given time, he would have found some way to hurt President Gore in office. If nothing else, his ridiculous crusades against Grand Theft Auto would have given the Greens the youth vote.
