When I first read this Hub request, I admit that I had never considered such a possibility. I've heard so much flack about both that putting them together seemed like... well, a terrible idea.

For one, I don't think that anybody would vote for Joe Lieberman, or nobody of influence, anyway. He has such a terrible light cast on him right now, with some people - Democrats mainly - considering removing him from the Democratic caucus and his chairmanship of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. His support of John McCain has put him in an unfavorable spot... he might consider himself a maverick, but many just see him as a traitor with no backbone, or a flip-flopper who cannot be forgiven for what he's done.

I personally don't think that Sarah Palin is stupid, and I don't think that she would consider to run with him. And besides, if Sarah Palin did find herself on the campaign trail again, she would probably go all out and run for president herself. In an interview with Fox News, she mentioned that if a door was open, she would "plow on through." She's definitely got determination, and I don't think she'd settle for less the next time around.

If she were to run, she would need to learn more about world issues and how the country works. She's gotten her dose of media treatment and coverage and certainly has a better idea of how brutal the news and public can be. I think she's discerning enough to take her experiences from this campaign and apply it to future endeavors. She's achieved a lot in her years, andI don't think she's done by any means.

Lieberman has a lot of ground to cover if he is even thinking of running for president... like saving his current position in government.

I have to say that this is a very interesting pairing. Palin may attract controversy, but such a ticket would certainly cause a ruckus!
