LIEberman, recognized as a “senior democrat”, is wrong. And is further proof that Pelosi and Reid both need to be shown the door!

Lieberman to endorse McCain

MANCHESTER, N.H. - Sen. John McCain, trying to build momentum toward a reprise of his 2000 New Hampshire primary victory, is piling up high-profile endorsements, including one from another political maverick, Sen. Joseph Lieberman.

The Connecticut senator, an independent who was the Democrats’ 2000 vice presidential nominee, was scheduled to announce his support for McCain at a town hall meeting Monday morning in Hillsborough.

A Lieberman adviser said the senator decided to back McCain despite being a Republican because he believes his colleague from Arizona “has the best chance of uniting the country in its fight against Islamic terrorism.”

The adviser, who spoke on the condition of anonymity in advance of the formal announcement, said Lieberman would continue to caucus with Senate Democrats, and said his decision was not a reflection of any lingering tension with his old party after high-profile Democrats abandoned him when he lost the Democratic primary during his 2006 Senate re-election campaign.

John Edwards said Saturday his chief Democratic rivals for the White House offer “a complete fantasy” when explaining the role of special interests. His party, he said, could lose its way and alienate supporters unless it stands by those most in need.

“I think if my party, the Democratic Party, if we’re not willing to fight for, stand up and show some backbone on behalf of the poor, the homeless, the disabled, the disenfranchised, we have no soul,” the former North Carolina senator said. “What are we going to stand for?”

Edwards cited fellow candidates Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton for suggesting that expanded health care and other gains can be achieved by bargaining with what called entrenched interests.

“The easiest thing to do is say we can be nice about this, we can turn our heads and we can sit at a table with stakeholders and negotiate with them and they will voluntarily give their power away,” said Edwards, the party’s vice presidential nominee in 2004. “It is a complete fantasy.”
