This would be one of the most boring, terrible, sucky, races in the history of American politics.  Hell, those two might unite half way through the campaign and run together.

I'd vote for a third party candidate.

Lieberman's a conservative in Democratic clothing.  He strongly supports the death penalty and the Iraq war.  Frist is just as bad, except that he's corrupt.  I imagine there'd have to be a nasty primary battle where the liberals all spread out their votes while Lieberman scores several gradual victories in key states.

Frist would win.  There would HAVE to be a third party candidate that would be more suitable for the Dems than Lieberman, and besides, Lieberman's just not that exciting.

Would vote for Lieberman.  Lieberman would win do to Frist's scandals (cat killing) and as boring as Lieberman is, Frist is even worse (& thats hard to do).  Third party may hurt Lieberman a little bit, but moderate Republicans woud probably have a better chcance of voting Lieberman than they would for any other 3rd party candidate especially going up against Frist.

I would have to vote for Lieberman, though I think Frist would pull  out a victory in the end, due to supressed turnout of astronomical proprtions.  As we all know, low turnout favors Republicans, and turnout couldn't get any lower than in this race. 

Can you imagine how excruciating it would be to watch these guys in 3 90 minute debates?

Maybe. He'd be more likely to carry Ohio and Missouri, though.

Colorado is shifting more & more to the left at a faster pace than any other red state.  The only state that  shifted towards the Dems in 2004 compared to 2000 by a higher % than Colorado was Vermont

After the first debate I could see them decide to work together.  Just flip a coin, heads gets to be Prez and tails you get to be VP.
I would vote for Santorum of course.
