Former VP candidate Jack Kemp to campaign for Lieberman

NEW LONDON -- Sen. Joe Lieberman, running for re-election as an independent after losing the Democratic primary and being abandoned by top-ranking Democrats earlier this month, will campaign with former Republican vice presidential candidate Jack Kemp, Lieberman said Tuesday.

Kemp, a former congressman and Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, telephoned Lieberman to offer support to the three-term senator's campaign against Greenwich businessman Ned Lamont, Lieberman said. No date for the visit has been set.

"We've worked together for years on some good projects that got done," Lieberman told reporters while campaigning in New London.

Kemp was former Kansas Sen. Bob Dole's running mate during his unsuccessful presidential run in 1996.

1. Dear Joe, Please let me show you how to lose

Love Jack xoxoxoxo

2. Since he's not the Democratic candidate why shouldn't he be abandoned

by the top-ranking Dem memberers of Congress?

Geez, they make it seem like ol' Joe was betrayed/stabbed in the back by the party when it's the voters who decided not to make him their choice in the primary.

3. If he had any guts, he'd switch parties and lose big

Trying to have it both ways, get the Repuke warlover vote, and the idiot Dem vote. This is really low.

4. Campaigning in New London?

I live in New London, and I didn't hear a word about it. He's sure running a stealth campaign.

5. Please do, Jack. It will show Lieberman Democrats who they agree with.

6. Joementum has more repukes campaigning for him than the actual repuke!

Where, I ask you, is the repuke love for their own candidate, sleazeball former Derby mayor Alan Schlesinger? Why, oh why, are all these repukes bolting the party to back a liberal commie pinko like Joementum? :sarcasm:
