I also fault Joe Lieberman. Couldn't he have spent more time in New Hampshire, a state very close to Connecticut? To be sure New Hampshire isn't quite Connecticut, Lieberman's state, but it could have been enough.
On the other hand, if not for Lieberman's pull with Jewish voters, Florida would have a clear, controversy-free win for Bush.
This, though, may have been the only meaningful contribution Lieberman made to the ticket. Why would Al Gore NOT choose a running-mate with some charisma, given his own deficiences in that department?
