I'll fix the post, and I appreciate the correction!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21506744.post-30100263493036696142008-02-08T10:45:00.000-08:002008-02-08T10:45:00.000-08:00For the record, while Obama endorsed Joe Lieberman...For the record, while Obama endorsed Joe Lieberman PRIOR to the 2006 Senate Primary, he didn't continue active support for Joe after Lamont won it. In fact, he was scheduled to make a campaign appearance for Ned at one point, but it got canceled. <BR/><BR/>I suspect the reason he canceled may be that Lieberman asked him to stay out of the race, but at least Obama didn't go against his party by <I>supporting</I> Lieberman in his third-party campaign. I wouldn't be able to vote for him if he had.CT Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07334232414964958641noreply@blogger.com
