BREITBART.COM - Bill Clinton Campaigning for Lieberman: "His political career in jeopardy, Sen. Joe Lieberman said Monday, 'I'm in a big fight here,' and looked to Bill Clinton to help him avoid defeat in next month's Democratic primary.
'And it's an important fight,' the three-term Connecticut senator said as he struggled to turn back a surprisingly tough challenge from war critic Ned Lamont.
The former president wasn't the only nationally known Democrat campaigning for Lieberman as the lawmaker sought to rebuild support among Democrats who long supported him.
Sen. Barbara Boxer of California, an ardent critic of the war, praised Lieberman for his stand on other issues. 'If you want to meet a leader on the environment, a leader on all the difficult choice issues, you got one here,' she said at a campaign stop at a candy store.
Even then, Lieberman was looking forward to Clinton's visit.
'You know, I'm in a big fight here, and I understand that ... and as our mutual friend who's coming in later today, President Clinton, always reminds us, every campaign is about the future,' he said.
The most recent public poll rated the race a tossup with the wealthy Lamont, whose Web site boasts that he will give Connecticut, 'finally, a senator who will stand up to George Bush.'"
Bill Clinton campaigning strongly for Lieberman, and Hillary Clinton refusing to say a postive word on his behalf. Seriously, are these two even married?
Lieberman is probably the only democrat senator I would vote for, and it's because he gets the War on Terror. I hope he wins this election, and its a shame that he needs help from Bill Clinton and Barbara Boxer in his race.
