...Gore counterpunched the Cheney choice? Lieberman is fresher than the "old guard" (read Cheney) picks like George Mitchell or even Bob Graham, more moderate than ideological (read Cheney) picks like Kerry or Gephardt, and yet doesn't leave Gore too alone at the top with a neophyte like Bayh or recent contender Edwards.Dick Cheney doesn't seriously out-heft Lieberman. Qualifications-wise, that is. He exudes ethics more than charisma, and isn't an oratorical superstar. He's from the Northeast, one of the few regions Gore can be confident of winning.

...Rubin might like the profile a little, but he wouldn't have much tinkering to do as veep. He'd be miserable sitting on his hands. Evan Bayh would be thrilled, and Bob Graham would be pleased as punch - how much do senators really do anyway? Either gives Gore a shot at a state he'd love to steal, and he could be offering voters the future, not the past. It would be a Gore-owned ticket, a sign he is the top man now, and then Gore could at least know what America really thought...
...MYSELF AND AL Does Gore go for someone fastidious and clean-cut like himself, or a more charismatic, roguish Clinton type? Best bet: He'll take the former BEST: Evan Bayh WORST: George Mitchell...
