This just in. It seems the number one politician-that-bothers-gamers is now Gore's running mate. I'll see if I can dig up some more info, or defect to Mother Russia.

Here's a bit from CNN.com ...

NASHVILLE, Tennessee (CNN) -- Vice President Al Gore and Connecticut Sen. Joseph Lieberman -- Gore's choice to become the Democratic vice presidential nominee -- are likely to spend Monday evening at the Gore campaign headquarters in Nashville planning the official rollout of the 2000 party ticket, following Lieberman's agreement to join Gore earlier in the day.

Lieberman, escorted by members of Gore's campaign, departed for Nashville late Monday afternoon. Gore and Lieberman will make a joint appearance there at 1 p.m. EDT on Tuesday afternoon.

Gore asked Lieberman to be his running mate earlier Monday in a brief telephone call. The Connecticut junior senator immediately accepted.

Speaking with reporters as he left his New Haven home, Lieberman said, "The vice president asked me if I would do him the honor of running with him. I told him it was my honor."
