"Shays supports Lieberman bid"

[Bonhomme Richard]

Pretty sad when it's the opposition that supports you.

"STAMFORD (AP) — Republican Congressman Christopher Shays said Tuesday that he plans to vote this year for Democratic Sen. Joe Lieberman and encouraged other GOP officials to endorse the three-term senator."

2. What it mostly says is that Shays is in trouble....

Guess you missed some of the story.....

"But spokesmen for top Republicans said Tuesday evening that GOP officials were not supporting Lieberman. ...Lieberman, who has faced criticism from his own party for his support of the war in Iraq, will not accept a cross-endorsment, his spokeswoman said.
“Would he accept the endorsement of the Republican Party? No, he is seeking the Democratic Party nomination,” said Casey Aden-Wansbury, Lieberman’s communications director. "

3. So this must mean Lieberman voted for Bush instead of Gore?

4. Shays has a tough opponent this year and wants to latch on to a popular

Senator in his state.

5. But the question is...

do you think Joe will disavow Republican endorsements?

[rpannier]

8. He already said he wasn't accepting shay's endorsement

6. I wouldn't be surprised if McCain chooses JoeMomentum as his running mate

on the GOP ticket in 2008 and that Liberman switches parties while still holding his seat. That is, unless he gets bounced in the primary.

Really.

7. Shay's is trying to play it both ways but...............

it will certainly give Lamont some ammunition.
