Did Lieberman ever endorse Kerry?
I'm not sure about Edwards either, but I heard Edwards make it clear he supports him all the way.

What about Joe? At this point I couldn't care less considering he sided with Bush over Clarke. I think he can go to hell and I think an endorsement from him would actually HURT Kerry.

he said early on in the primary that he would support whoever was the democratic nominee.

4. Pretty Much
After Kerry won the Illinois presidential primary Tuesday, securing the delegates needed to clinch the nomination at the Democratic National Convention, Lieberman spoke to the Massachusetts Democrat via telephone and pledged his "full support," said Lieberman Senate spokeswoman Casey AdenWansbury.

As for a formal endorsement, "He’s leaving that up to Senator Kerry, if the senator wants to do something more formal," AdenWansbury said.

8. Or in other words
the Kerry campaign sees no advantage in having Lieberman's formal endorsement...

9. More importantly, will Cher?
Who cares about Lieberman. I don't. The less he's on TV, the better.

11. I was just curious...

I actually didn't really hate Lieberman until the other week. He had a decent record on domestic policies, and I defended him often here on DU against those that called him a DINO.

However, taking Bush's side over Clarke's was really the last draw and was unforgivable. I'm going to donate to the primary challenger in '06 -- CT can do better.

13. I'm done with Lieberman too.
It is unfathomable to me that he could defend bush against Clarke.

12. Yes he did
That was what the Unity Dinner was all about. If you were at the Unity Dinner you were endorsing John Kerry.

14. Joe Lieberman.....don't hold your breath....
Edited on Sat Mar-27-04 12:54 AM by nomaco-10
He is a member of the same sect of the dem party as Zell Miller and Ralph Hall. What has he done in his own state to unseat the repuke govenor that should have been impeached months ago, John Rowland? Has anybody heard any outcry for Rowland's corrupt ass to be impeached by Joe? You'd think Lieberman would be leading the way... but NOooooo.

Lieberman is a DINO

edited to add: If it would have been a dem gov caught at so much corruption as Rowland, his ass would have been impeached months ago. It's Lieberman's home state too for crike's sake. Joe is useless.
