Lieberman Confirms: If Asked, Will Speak at RNC

Sunday on Meet the Press, when asked by host Tom Brokaw, Senator Joe Lieberman (I-CT) virtually guaranteed he would speak at the Republican National Convention, if asked.

BROKAW: Are you going to speak at the Republican convention?

LIEBERMAN: ...that decision--I'll let the future of politics take care of itself. I feel very good about what I've done. Am I going to speak at the convention? It's not--that decision hasn't been made. If Senator McCain feels that I can help his candidacy, which I think it's so important to elect him our next president, I will do it. But I assure you this, Tom, I'm not going to go to that convention, the Republican convention, and spend my time attacking Barack Obama. I'm going to go there really talking about why I support John McCain and why I hope a lot of other independents and Democrats will do that. And frankly, I'm going to go to a partisan convention and tell them, if I go, why it's so important that we start to act like Americans and not as, as partisan mudslingers here in Washington.

BROKAW: Sounds, sounds like you're going to go.

LIEBERMAN: Well, we'll see.

We'll see? Sounds like a virtual done deal.
