And I think John McCain knows that while Republicans could accept Joe Lieberman as secretary of defense or secretary of state, that's fine. ... Republicans want to elect a Republican not only to be president, but to be in the position should something happen and be the next president" ("Hannity & Colmes," FNC, 8/20). New York Times' Herbert: "If he were to select Lieberman, I think that by them going and saying 'I'll only serve one term,' it mitigates the advantages of having Lieberman on the ticket.

Palin's swift rise is the talk of her Alaskan town
