No way! The traditional Republicans will still vote Republicans, but the lefties will either not vote or vote greens - either way, the Dems are stuffed. Like I have said countless times before, Lieberman is merely Bush toned down a shade, and I would like to think that the traditional Democrat voter is smart enough to see this (support for Lieberman has dropped off sharply since he started off the Democratic candidacy leading the race). If Lieberman gets the ticket, expect to see a much smaller voting turn-out (what's the point in voting in an election where the two candidates have such similar policies?) and the Democrats to lose traditional Democratic votes to the Greens, Independents or to just people not voting at all. The only votes that the Democrats could hope to win by putting Lieberman forward are the moderate rights, but whatever they gain in that area is likely to be offset by the votes they lose to the traditional leftists.
Besides, I'd like to think that by the end of Bush's term, people will be so sick and so weary of this brand of politics (especially given the likely state of the economy, Iraq etc) that they'll be happy to vote for someone on the other end of the spectrum. Either way, someone like Dean (or even Kerry, Clark, Graham etc.) have a much better chance of winning an election than Liberman purely by virtue of the fact that they are on the opposite side of Bush politically.
