Of course the Catholics didn't have an Israel type issue to deal with.

Lieberman was very close to being "a heartbeat away" from the Presidency as Gore's runningmate.

A Liberman candidacy would be interesting to watch.
I still wouldn't put my money on anyone that isn't male and protestant. Even on a Catholic.

VP is a deadend position. Only recently has it been turned into something it's not. A VP isn't supposed to be in the media and worrying about his presidential campaign. More often than not, he's been thrown in as vp because it will limit his future.
