Not only has Lieberman endorsed Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine.) -- one of Democrats' biggest targets in the 2008 cycle -- but he's planning to co-host a fundraiser for her on June 21 in Washington, D.C.

The event, which will be held in a Capitol Hill location still to be determined, will feature Lieberman and Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) -- a very rare bipartisan fundraiser. Attendees are being asked to raise $3,000; $2,000 would come in the form of a political action committee donation while the other $1,000 would be a personal contribution, according to an electronic invite for the fundraiser obtained today by The Fix <...>

Lieberman's willingness to work openly for Collins's reelection will surely not sit well with Democratic strategists who want Rep. Tom Allen (D) to oust the two-term incumbent. For Lieberman, his support of Collins is payback. She was one of a handful of senators who campaigned for him in the general election following his loss in the Democratic primary to Lamont. (He ran for and won reelection as an independent.) Lieberman and Collins also serve together as the chairman and ranking member, respectively, of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee in the Senate.

The Republican strategy in the race is clearly to kill Allen's candidacy in the crib.

Please contribute to Tom's campaign. https://services.myngp.com/ngponlineservices/contribution.aspx?X=tnlqW%2bcHzJx62qhTDXDY4w%3d%3d&m=tomallen

If we are able to increase our margin in the Senate, we can finally cast the lead weight that is Joe LIEberman overboard.

2. OH WELL

I've heard they are soul mates. they certainly have patted one another on the back over the years.
I predict you will see much more of collins in the state as the battle heats up.
but like i've said before this is one mainer who will no longer vote for her;she has
followed the party line to many times. UN-LIKE COHEN she protected the corrupt war!
And I believe there is thousands that feel like me in this state. I served but I don't want my kin in a war that isn't fought to exit quickly. Another nam,korea and the men running this one like cheney,rumsfeld etc. don't give a damn about our children or anybody Else's. ITS been four years since the mission accomplished -four years of prolonging the misery -four years of planned incompetence- and those who supported it should and will be voted out of office.
