Joe's Base
It's getting really hard to keep track of the vast and growing number of far-right and neoconservative Republican supporters Joe has been racking up.
The list extends from his national political godfather William F. Buckley, to his good pal and would-be fundraiser Sean Hannity, to Dick Cheney, Chris Shays (who wanted the GOP to cross-endorse him), the Wall Street Journal editorial board, David "Axis of Evil" Frum and AEI, Marshall "I'm a Republican working for the DLC" Wittman, John McCain, the reborn neocon all-stars at the Committee on the Present Danger, the entire right-wing blogosphere, and now to Richard "Prince of Darkness" Perle, who recently said that he hoped Lieberman would run for president in 2008.
These are the people and institutions to which Sen. Lieberman answers, not the people of Connecticut - and certiainly not Connecticut Democrats.
