I see a lot of people talking about the attention McCain is getting after Lieberman's endorsement. I understand the immediate frustration being that it takes attention away from 12/16, but is greater support for McCain really a bad thing?
McCain's support is crap atm. This bump will do nothing but lower support of the other Neocons, in turn, lowering the support for the (polled) front runner (whoever that'll be come elections) w/o making McCain the (polled) front runner.
If anything, the McCain bump is good because it will make the front runner's gap more achievable for Paul.
Romney is polling ~34% in New Hampshire while McCain is polling 17%. If McCain's 'bump' raised his polling, and Romney's recent MTP disaster lowers his, it means that both Romney and McCain will be in the low 20%'s in NH, which is very beatable by Paul.
