WASHINGTON - Democrat Joe Lieberman, facing an uncertain showing in his must-win state of Delaware, was making contingency plans Tuesday to withdraw from the presidential race, according to sources close to the campaign.

The campaign was making calls to close supporters asking them to be at the Hyatt Regency in Arlington, Va., Tuesday night at the postelection party. If Lieberman does not win at least one state - and his best hope is Delaware - he will make his concession speech there, said the sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

He then would head home to Connecticut for a formal announcement in Hartford Wednesday.

While campaign staff continued to insist that Lieberman was moving on to campaign in Virginia this week, others close to the senator confirmed they have been told about a tentative 3 p.m. event in Hartford on Wednesday.

1. Good

I hope he does.

[Magleetis]

2. See ya

Don't let the door.......

[liberalhistorian]

6. LOL!

I so totally agree. I've been wondering when he was going to start seeing the light and getting a clue. Maybe now he'll finally understand that we have problems a lot more serious than the contents of a fucking video game!

I do feel just a little bad for him, in a way, though. I still get a kick out of the fact that he boasted that "the Republicans think I'm the strongest candidate", he actually BOASTED about that!!!!!! Can you imagine a repuke saying the same thing if the situation were reversed?

3. Yay! Best News I've Heard All Day! :)

kerry or clark will pick up his votes, i think.

[maxsolomon]

26. what votes was that?

[Tripper11]

4. It's about damn time.

Seriously, did ol' Joe really think he had a shot????

[a_random_joel]

5. But, but...

Where's all the Joementum?

[LoneStarLiberal]

7. On the shelf...

On the shelf next to the rest of the hemarrhoid treatments.

Seriously, that's one unappealing word.

[liberalhistorian]

11. Yeah, and what happened to that

"Liebermania", too? SNORT, SNICKER!

Oh, we are BAAAAAAAAAAADDD, aren't we, lol!

[prolesunited]

12. Hehehehe

Poor guy. I bet he thought of that himself and his campaign staff couldn't talk him out of using it.

Do you think he'll become a Republican now?

I hope the Dem Party gets the message now. Between his lackluster campaign and the defeats in 02, you would think they would have figured it out my now.

NO MORE GOP-LITE!!!

[virgdem]

22. It turned into ...NOmentum!!!

eom

[markses]

8. Party at markses!

3pm Wednesday! Get lost, Lieberman.

[Robb]

9. B-b-but...

...What if he's in a seven-way tie for first place? Then will he go on? :eyes:

[lastknowngood]

10. OH man we won't have JOEMENTEM to kick

around any more.

[bspence]

13. Good n/t

[treefrogjohn]

14. There's an opening on a new independent bipartisan investigation

I can see it now. Joe and Zell will be the appointed Democrats.

[Chovexani]

15. Hee!

I swear I read that subject line "Lieberman Said Conceding if Witless Tues."

My brain must be scrambled from having to see those horrible boobies over and over again. :crazy:

--Chovexani, running out of Joementum

16. I heard he was going to run on the GREEN Party ticket!

NOT!

[kskiska]

17. He was waiting for his federal matching funds

He'd better get out before he embarrasses himself in the Connecticut Primary. After the way he's conducted himself since Election 2000, he'll be lucky to keep his Senate seat in Connecticut. Seems that all his media face time went to his head and he became a legend in his own mind.

He'll probably blame Al Gore for keeping him waiting his decision to run. I remember Al saying at the time, don't wait for me, Joe.

[liberalhistorian]

24. I think you've nailed it perfectly,

he became such an egotistical prick, it was unbelievable. Of course, I never liked him from the start, with his morality-nanny bullshit, and other stuff like that. And since he seems to think the only major problems we have in this country are the contents of a fucking video game, I don't exactly consider him to be the most "mainstream" candidate, as he likes to call himself.

[beyurslf]

18. Just about time.

[Aidoneus]

19. all out of *Joementum*?

[Born Free]

20. Hope he takes Al Sharpton with him

It's time both drop out, it's obvious the democrats don't want either of them, all they do is add to the confusion.

[prolesunited]

23. What do you have against Sharpton?

I love hearing him speak and I think he has really added to the debates. He can make all sorts of comments and not worry about protecting his frontrunner status.

What do you have against him?

[PaDUer]

25. I also look forward

to the debates so I can hear Sharpton "tell it as it is"..he's no fool, and he makes damn sure he lets them know that!

[DrWeird]

21. If Bush wins the general election...

at least I'll still have Joe's utter defeat to look back and smile upon.

[LiberalFighter]

27. Lieberman winless again...

He congratulated North Carolina Sen. John Edwards on his win in South Carolina, and offered his condolences to Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman (news - web sites), who dropped out of the race after coming up winless again, but his main focus was Bush.
