Say it Ain't Joe!

Another day, another warning. Add Karl Rove to the chorus of conservatives dead-set against the notion of Joe Lieberman being added to McCain's ticket. In fact, according to Politico:

Republican strategist Karl Rove called Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman (I-Conn.) late last week and urged him to contact John McCain to withdraw his name from vice presidential consideration, according to three sources familiar with the conversation.

Rove, it seems, wants Mitt Romney. I guess if McCain picks Lieberman, he can claim he still has his old "Maverick" mojo working. But it sure seems that what little excitement conservatives have been able to muster for McCain will be swiftly deflated.
