L’excellent sp\u00e9cialiste des questions et intrigues politiciennes \u00e0 Washington, Steve Clemons, signale sur son site, le 22 novembre<\/a>, l’entr\u00e9e du lobbyist<\/em> politicien Marshall Wittman au service du s\u00e9nateur d\u00e9mocrate ind\u00e9pendant Joe Lieberman. Clemons d\u00e9crit Wittman d’une fa\u00e7on pittoresque, comme un parfait cam\u00e9l\u00e9on washingtonien : \u00ab Mr. Wittmann, meanwhile, is a Trotskyite turned Zionist turned Reaganite turned bipartisan irritant turned pretty much everything in between including chief lobbyist for the Christian Coalition, the only Jew who has ever held that position.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tL’essentiel ici, dans le commentaire de Clemons, est que Wittman est per\u00e7u comme tr\u00e8s proche de John McCain et que son entr\u00e9e dans l’\u00e9quipe de Lieberman a, pour Clemons, une signification tactique \u00e9vidente, avec des implications strat\u00e9giques tout aussi \u00e9videntes. Cela annonce une alliance entre McCain et Lieberman pour 2008, un ticket’ McCain-Lieberman pour la pr\u00e9sidence.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00abWhat those heaping scorn on Wittman are missing, however, is what his employment by Lieberman really means.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbWhen political giants tie up, it’s not an accident.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbLieberman’s acquisition of Marshall Wittman, who is very close to John McCain, signals a calculation by some that McCain and Lieberman might tie up for the 2008 Presidential run. The progressive left will start choking at this point, coughing and convulsing uncontrollably but reason needs to be gripped for a moment.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbMcCain and Lieberman would be a formidable challenge for any Democratic opponent because even though both are now self-described neoconservatives and strongly supported America’s botched war against Iraq, to many pundits they would seem like the very epitome of centrism.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbJohn McCain and Joseph Lieberman are also both attracted to Marshall Wittman because of his work and thinking about a new campaign of national greatness.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbThe framing of those five words already outperform most of the lead challengers on the Democratic side perhaps with the exception of Barack Obama who really is sizzling.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbIt would be a mistake to see McCain and Lieberman as the champions of a new centrist political ethic, but the cosmetics of their partnership will be too seductive for many pundits who will fall for the deal.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbWittman is smart, and he will possibly be the midwife of a McCain-Lieberman campaign and rather than railing against Wittman, people need to get smart and outmaneuver those who want to steal the center away from Democrats in the next big political race.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tClemons signalait \u00e9galement hier<\/a> qu’un autre commentateur, Mark Schmitt, avait \u00e9voqu\u00e9 la m\u00eame hypoth\u00e8se le m\u00eame 22 novembre<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tLes deux commentateurs pr\u00e9sentent la possibilit\u00e9 d’un ticket’ McCain-Lieberman comme une manuvre n\u00e9o-conservatrice pour une candidature pr\u00e9sent\u00e9e comme centriste mais en r\u00e9alit\u00e9 compl\u00e8tement proche du courant n\u00e9o-conservateur. Schmitt estime qu’une telle association n’aurait pas l’investiture r\u00e9publicaine mais se pr\u00e9senterait comme une troisi\u00e8me candidature, sous l’\u00e9tiquette ind\u00e9pendant’. Il appara\u00eet certain que cette association pourrait d\u00e9gager un soutien important, \u00e0 cause de la popularit\u00e9 des deux hommes et du soutien de parties influentes du monde politique (Lieberman apporterait le soutien sans faille du lobby<\/em> sioniste, dont on conna\u00eet la puissance). Une \u00e9quipe McCain-Lieberman aurait une politique au moins aussi radicale et extr\u00e9miste que l’\u00e9quipe Bush-Cheney, mais avec une pr\u00e9sentation \u00e0 pr\u00e9tention centriste’ qui serait tr\u00e8s efficace dans une campagne \u00e9lectorale.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tCette hypoth\u00e8se montre pour le moins que la fin du radicalisme extr\u00e9miste n’est pas du tout la tendance actuelle de la politique washingtonienne. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
