Lieberman Says He Has National Support

[Herschel]

Democratic presidential hopeful Joe Lieberman said endorsements Sunday from three newspapers in the South and Northwest show he's the candidate with national support.

But that has yet to be borne out by national and state polls, which show the Connecticut senator in single digits and well behind most of his six rivals for the Democratic nomination.

Lieberman skipped the Iowa caucuses and finished fifth in the New Hampshire primary. He has spent considerable time and resources on some of the seven states with primaries or caucuses on Tuesday, including Delaware, Oklahoma and South Carolina, where a victory could keep his campaign alive.

He was endorsed Sunday by two newspapers in South Carolina - The State, the largest newspaper there, and the Greenville News - along with the Seattle Times.

After preaching a gospel of shared values to about 300 members of the New Destiny Fellowship, a black Protestant congregation in Wilmington, Del., Lieberman said he was encouraged by the endorsements. The Arizona Republic also backed Lieberman last week.

``What this says is that I have national support,'' Lieberman told reporters on his fifth campaign stop in the state. ``I'm the Democrat who can bring people together and win the election and actually get something done. That's the appeal I make to the voters here in Delaware and the six other states.''

Hopefully, the polls will be proven wrong. A sensible moderate such as Lieberman is the best opportunity to defeat Bush.

4. I think electing Joe would be a horrible mistake

Based on the going's on in the Middle East.... I'm a Jew myself, but now is not the time for one to be President. It could only infuriate those that already hate us. There will be a time when it's appropriate in the future, but first we have to take care..... Having a Jewish president is unlikely to allow us any bargaining rights in Israel, and to further skew the ME perception of us.

5. Lieberman Takes Delaware....

Joe is gonna out smart this group....He has been spending the majority of his time and money in Delaware. Brilliant....Joe is Brilliant...DELAWARE! What a strategy....the little state that could..and it's Joe's, all Joe's...:bounce:

Be prepared democrats....JOE IS GONNA TAKE DELAWARE.

I for one am amazed at this political genius. This is what we need in the White House...someone who thinks BIG...

7. A reasonable strategy

Carrying a state would add credibility. Clark and Edwards are attempting the same in Oklahoma and South Carolina.
