Lieberman to leave race February 3rd?

[MoonRiver]

Sneed is told Sen. Joseph Lieberman plans to pull the plug on his presidential campaign on Feb. 3, which is the day he gets federal matching funds from the FEC in order to pay off his campaign debt.

1. oh please let it be true

[MoonRiver]

2. Ditto

3. I hope so. He is too arrogant

His message does not really appeal to anyone except the Zell Miller type Dems.

6. Thanks Joe................ time to go.

It was kind of fun listening to you talk about Iraq being a good war............... no............. I guess it wasn't.

Bye.

7. Good riddance....

8. does he not get matching funds if he drops out earlier?

does anyone know the rules concerning this ? if they drop out before the date they are to recieve the matching funds does it disqualify them from recieving that money ?

10. From what I have heard

Joe is staying in until the 3rd so that he can get the funds...If he were to drop earlier, he wouldn't get them. I cannot verify if that is indeed the case though.

9. god, I hope so---I've wanted him to drop out for three months now

[mikehiggins]

11. Aww, no. And just when Jo-mentum was really putting pedal to the metal.

Hey, maybe he'll endorse Kerry and pass along some of his success.

[Auntie Bush]

12. Excellent news...I hope he endorses Clark...however

that may do him more harm than good...tough question.

[Tatiana]

13. Good Lord, no.

I hope he doesn't. Clark will likely naturally pick up Lieberman's supporters without Lieberman formally endorsing.

[Dark Star]

14. I don't think Clark is

conservative enough. I believe he will just wait and support the eventual ticket...from a distance.

[JI7]

16. i don' t think it would help or hurt

maybe help in that it might give the candidate some attention. but other than that i don't think it matters.

[Leilani]

15. What happened to Joe-mentum?

After attacks on Clark, I will not be sorry if this is true.

[DancingBear]

17. I think it got a frontal Joe-botomy n/t

[Bucky]

24. LOL!!! Excellent.

I never type ROFL, but you definitely nearly knocked me out of the chair with that one.

Joe-botomy. *snort*

[girl gone mad]

18. Who will super-delegate Zell Miller..

vote for now?

[MoonRiver]

19. He'll write in *

[cosmicdot]

20. he'll have more time to go on Faux to bash Democrats

:eyes:

[jsw_81]

21. Great!

[GOPEC]

22. February 3rd?

...If he sees his shadow, will he campaign for 6 more weeks?

[veggiemama]

23. Thanks for the best laugh I've had in weeks!

But wait . . . Joementum might actually be able to run for Groundhog and win!!!
