McCain Campaign Calling Supporters To Ask About Lieberman For VP

There were rumblings yesterday that the McCain campaign was calling GOP delegates to ask how they’d feel about a "pro-choice" VP, but it looks like they were more specific, and were sounding them out about Lieberman:

Officials with John McCain’s campaign made a series of conference calls Monday and Tuesday with supporters nationwide to say that Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman may be named as the Arizona senator’s vice presidential running mate, immediately sparking a frenzied effort by some state Republican officials to come up with a strategy to head off such a move, The Washington Times has learned.

One of the concerned state GOP officials told The Washington Times that he talked with two "high-level" campaign officials who said "Lieberman is a very real possibility."

The Moonie Times says that there are plans afoot to organize delegates against Lieberman if his name comes up for a floor vote at the convention.

With Rudi Giuliani delivering the keynote address, it should be a dilly of an event.
