N.H. primary can make or break Lieberman’s campaign

[Khephra]

WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman, D-Conn., is spending a lot of time in New Hampshire, where the license plates read "Live Free or Die." The struggling presidential candidate’s campaign theme may as well be "Come in Third or Die."

Political observers said the Granite State is Lieberman’s "last stand." If he doesn’t come in at least third in the state’s crucial presidential primary Jan. 27, any future success on the campaign trail appears out of reach.

A poll of likely New Hampshire primary voters released last week showed Lieberman running fourth, with support from only 7 percent of respondents, 35 percentage points behind the runaway leader, former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean.

The gap appears all but insurmountable, and Lieberman’s best hopes rest in Arizona, Oklahoma and South Carolina, where primaries are held a week later on Feb. 3.

3. The only way he's gonna look good if if the Republicans vote for him

The only thing I like about Lieberman is that he looks vaguely like the star of that old TV series "My Favorite Martian."
