In 2004 Joe Lieberman ran (briefly) for the Democratic nomination but was considered too pro-war to win.

But what if there had been no 9-11, and, subsequently, no Afghanistan or Iraq wars? (Bush probably would have done something about Saddam Hussein eventually, but an invasion would have been a difficult sell in a peacetime environment).

So, Joe Lieberman runs for and wins the Democratic nomination. As a candidate who is more popular with social conservatives than Bush (who runs on the kind of moderate platform he had in 2000) Lieberman stands a good chance of turning Bush Jr. into a one-termer like his father. Or does he?
