McCain-Lieberman gets Barr 15%, says Gingrich

McCain-Lieberman gets Barr 15%, says Gingrich

August 14th, 2008 by Jason Pye

Last night on Hannity & Colmes, Sean Hannity asked former House Speaker Newt Gingrich about the possibility of Sen. John McCain selecting Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) as his running mate. Here is the transcript of the exchange with video below:

Hannity: I am hearing some pretty credible rumors from people that know that Senator McCain has really narrowed down his selection process to about two or three people, and one of those people would be Joe Lieberman. Would that be a good choice in your view?

Gingrich: Well, I like Senator Lieberman a great deal, I admire him a lot, he’d be a great Secretary of State, he’d be terrific as an Attorney General, but the idea of him being the Republican Vice President nominee would split the convention, and Bob Barr would get 15% of the vote.
