It turns out you can teach old dogs new tricks: Just as Lieberman tailored his public pronoucements to suit his party?s fundraising agenda, Cheney pried himself away from long-held positions to help George W. Bush attract the critical swing votes - the majority of which must be lured from the middle ground sandwiched between...
