WP: On Wal-Mart, Lieberman and Challenger Can Agree

Lieberman spoke first, gently broaching what was on everyone's mind. "As you might tell from the galaxy of signs out there, there's a political campaign going on," he said. "Did you know that? And there's people who will be speaking today who are in pretty spirited contests and debates with one another. You know that, too. But here's the great news: We're all together today in wanting to wake up Wal-Mart and say, 'Treat your workers fairly.' "

...Lamont, when he finally got the microphone, was brief but blunt.

"As I look down at Washington, D.C., right now, I want the Democrats to stand up and say what they're for," he said. "We believe that universal health care is a basic right for each and every American. And it won't take me 18 years to go down to Washington, D.C., and to get that done."

As Lamont spoke, Lieberman disappeared into the big green bus that has been ferrying him around the state in the campaign's final days. A placard reads "Joe's Tomorrow Tour," a name the senator attributes to Bill Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign theme song, which features the refrain "Don't stop thinking about tomorrow." Lieberman thinks Clinton's campaign appearance on July 24 rejuvenated his faltering campaign.

"You know there's been a lot of nonsense put out by my opponent that I'm not a Democrat or this or that," he told reporters outside Noel's Supermarket in Colchester on Tuesday. "But Bill Clinton came in, the true head of the Democratic Party in America, and said Joe Lieberman is a fighting Democrat."

1. Joe really went after Dean with a bitter vengeance there didn't he.

Lording it over how Bill Clinton runs the party.

Classy.
