He should pick Rand Paul, that's my first choice.

If you're asking whom he should choose in order to attract independents and conservative Democrats, I would say Joe Lieberman. It would be extremely, almost impossibly difficult for the Obama campaign to dig up any dirt or throw any mud at Lieberman, there would be too much backlash. He reputation for being a nice guy, a centrist, and having a cool head precedes him.

That would actually be a strategically good choice. Worse it could do is piss off the far right even more than they already are, but who are they going to vote for?

Im not so sure. Pissing off an already pissed off and fired up base would have some interesting outcomes.

Trust me there would be a 60% chance that a small 3rd party would arise. Whether it would be more libertarian leaning or more social conservative type leaning group is hard to say. There are some people that are so very strict with how they vote that they would refuse to vote for a ticket that included lieberman. Many of those people are more socially conservative types like Pro-Life. Im almost certain if Lieberman was the running mate you would have at least 5 to 8% of the republican base voting for a 3rd party ticket. Some people are just that strict in their voting.
