Lieberman In A Political Crossfire

[Thom Little]

On a wintry Tuesday, the heat once again was on U.S. Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman over his support of President Bush and the war in Iraq.

Democracy for America, a political group founded by Howard Dean and now run by his brother, Jim Dean, delivered to Lieberman's Hartford office a critical letter signed online by 55,000 Americans, including 1,500 Connecticut residents.

Former U.S. Sen. Lowell P. Weicker Jr., a week after telling reporters he would consider challenging Lieberman if no other anti-war candidate emerged, spent the afternoon on WTIC-AM 1080 fielding calls about the war and his potential candidacy.

Tonight, opponents of Lieberman are being urged to register their feelings with the Democratic State Central Committee, even though the committee is not scheduled to discuss Lieberman or entertain public comments. Calling for the turnout are two online groups whose goals are evident in the names of their websites - dumpjoe.com and draftlowellweicker.com.

1. Isn't Ted Kennedy Jr. considering running against Lieberman?

I thought I heard on the radio that there are people in Connecticut who want Ted Jr. to challenge Lieberman. Anybody can confirm this? I have not seen anything online to confirm this.

Of course there are going to be those who insist that they would rather vote for Lieberman than a Republican all because Joe has a "D" on the end of his name. :eyes:
