Washington, D.C. (AHN) - Republican political donors are raising funds for U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman as he runs as an Independent after his loss to Ned Lamont in the Democratic primary.

A luncheon, hosted by President Bush's college roommate, Tom Kuhn, cost $1,000 a plate for the former Democratic Vice Presidential candidate, an an effort to push the candidate closer to the GOP if he should indeed win reelection in Connecticut.

According to the Chicago Sun-Times, Kuhn, president of the Edison Electric Institute, raised more than $100,000 for Bush in the 2000 and 2004 presidential campaigns. Also among the Lieberman event's sponsors was Rick Shelby, a longtime Republican operative who is executive vice president of the American Gas Association.

3. This still makes me so angry that I can't see straight. Work through the

primaries to try to change the party from within and LIEberman pulls this stunt of running as an independent because he lost. To think that there are people who refer to themselves as "dems" who are supporting him and who are gonna vote for him!

Campaigns with repukes, has fundraisers with repukes, threatens Sen. Dodd and on and on. Well Joe and supporters, I won't forget either.
