You Put Your Left Man In, You Take Your Centrist Out, You Do The Hokey...
Okay, I can't help it. I'm a writer, and I love "what-ifs". What if, after all this talk about Gore not playing nicely behind Lieberman's back, Lieberman were to get the Democratic nomination after all, and then Lieberman ended up asking Gore to be his running mate? It would be like a Prodigal Son story. Would Gore accept? Would they run into each other's arms with endlessly looping piano music playing in the background? Would all be forgiven and the duo then move forward with (one of) the weirdest campaigns in U.S. history?
What if Lieberman wins the nomination and then asks Dean to be his running mate? Will Gore be left out in the cold (again)?

As someone once said, there really are only a limited number of basic plots. It's the individual characters and setting that make the story a new one.
