Lieberman to Speak at GOP Convention
By Perry Bacon Jr.

Sen. Joe Lieberman, completing a dramatic political transformation over the last eight years, is now scheduled to speak at the Republican National Convention next month, according to GOP sources.

The Connecticut senator, who calls himself an "independent Democrat" and attends some Democratic meetings on Capitol Hill, has become one of the McCain's closet allies, campaigning with him everywhere and rumored to be on his list of potential running mates. Lieberman is now on a trip to Georgia with Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, another close McCain ally. The pair is visiting the war-torn state in their capacities as members of the Senate Armed Services Committee, while also effectively acting as McCain's emissaries there.

Lieberman has at times sharply criticized Sen. Barack Obama, particularly on his opposition to the Iraq war, which Lieberman forcefully backed.

Lieberman, the Democratic vice-presidential nominee in 2000 and a White House candidate for the presidency himself four years later, seems unlikely to give the kind of fiery speech that then-Sen. Zell Miller (D-Ga.) offered against then Democratic nominee Sen. John Kerry at the 2004 GOP convention in New York. Lieberman's speeches introducing McCain tend to focus on the Arizona senator's work on bipartisan compromises in the Senate and their shared views on Iraq.

Lieberman joins a list of speakers at the convention that already includes President Bush, Vice President Cheney and former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani.
