69. Yes, but it's important to remember that the circumstances of 2000 were a Universe away from where

we are now.

For starters, there was no Iraq War and the whole Neo-Con thing was really not apparent. Even Bush ran against "nation building". So Lieberman, while not a good choice, didn't have the karmic baggage he has now.

Mostly the reasons behind picking Lieberman- and they were bad reasons- had to do with the Gore campaign "distancing" itself from the evil, turgid, ungodly extramarital shenanigans of the dreaded CLENIS.
