I haven't yet read any commentary on the pick but my take on it is that Al Gore has greatly enhanced his chances in his choice of Lieberman. Somewhat in the way that Carter was a needed option after the debacle of Nixon, perhaps the country 'needs' a clear statement of moral probity, after the confusing Clinton stance.

And I would imagine that having a Jew as a VP nominee can only help- And I say Hurray for that!
