Is Liberman really getting a "surge of support" since Gore backed Dean?

[mot78]

This is what Lieberman has been repeating in every interview of the last 24 hours. I this for real, or is the DINO brigade just upset that Gore's backing someone outside of their idealogical spectrum? Maybe he's getting more money because his existing supporters feel sad for him in not getting called up by Gore.

1. yes...from family and friends....nobody else.

Gore owed him nothing...the secret was talked about for weeks before it was leaked...the poor pity me routine wont last long.

2. He's confusing pity with support....

That's all. How the hell would he know? It's not like there have been a ton of polls out since Gore's endorsement.

12. You are right... it's a little pity bump....

3. He got $20 from a lucky lottery ticket he bought

But that's about it.

Good riddance, things will be much better when he finally drops out.

I love how the Daily Democrat about him sank like a two ton elephant today.

4. When I was a union officer, we used to tell management that we

were getting tons of phone calls on a particular issue when we probably got a couple. No one is going to check phone calls. It's a tactic that works. Did I lie? You bet.

5. No, no, no

Lieberman had to see his surgeon after hearing the report because he had a cardiac infarction because Gore put him on life support...

6. The grapes have been souring on the vine with

Lieberman all day. He has been on every show that would have him dennouncing Gore and Dean. Sour grapes only makes a very bad whine.

7. Joe needs only to give the appearance of a surviving campaign

before throwing his support behind Gephardt.

8. I don't know about Joe but Dean sure is.

7000 new signups to the campaign and $398,000 so far toward the bat.

9. I doubt it.

The new "support" Lieberman is getting (if he is getting it at all) is not to be equated with votes. Some of these people are pitying but may not necessarily vote for him. Besides, I feel like Lieberman did it to himself, for the most part. He was Republican-Lite with the stuff he's been doing and I think he knew it, so now he's trying to tie in the whole Howard Dean being a bad change for the party, etc.

10. many feel sorry for him

i admit i did also on hearing that he didn't hear of the news until it was reported by the media. so i can see some people giving him something for it. people who aren't strongly backing any candidate and don't pay attention to politics as much but are likely to support a democrat.

13. let's elect him because we feel sorry for him... New concept :)

[IndianaGreen]

14. Let's see, who could possibly feel sorry from the gnome from CT?

(thinking very hard)

:think:

Nope, that wasn't it...

:wow:

Nope, that wasn't either...

:cry:

Poor Holy Joe, he is so mistreated and misunderstood...

:boring:

Who cares about Lieberman!

[cliss]

11. He heh ha ha

Oh, what can I say? Old Joe "the Jester" is our comedy relief. I seriously doubt anyone is going to vote for him because of sympathy. That feeling will defnitely not last until next November. Besides, Al tried to call him, but Jaded Joe was not available.

I DO seriously suspect him of being on the Ream-publican payroll, however, to divide us.
