The only Democrat with any credibility at all dropped out today.

So long Joe.

[ComputerFix]

Any surprise? He keeps trying, but doesn't seem to get anywhere.

If GWB made a sharp turn, Lieberman's nose would get broken. He needs to change parties.

Then there were.....!

Wino, the Democrats don't seem to understand that the farther "left" their candidate is, the less likely that Bush will be beaten.

For example, I might have voted for Joe over GWB.

The only other candidate that I like is Edwards .... a little.

None of the other candidates will see my vote.

anyone hear any of the debates I was just wondering if one of the questions involved the content of thier concession speech in November.

You only say that because he supports the war and is pro-big business!

Yeah, Joe's a right wing Republican.

I have been watching the debates. (most of them)
.... and I have been wondering the same thing.

Just yesterday, Joe was telling peopole that he wouldn't drop out, and to please keep contributing to his campaign.

.... then he drops out today.



I think Gephardt was doing the same thing.

Good thing they can't get organized.

I am a bit late in finding this article (it's now old news) but I still think it is funny:

Joebituary
Joe Lieberman bows out.

By William Saletan / Updated Wednesday, Feb. 4, 2004

Joe No! It's all Joever now

Say it ain't so, Joe.

Here's Joe Lieberman on TV, quitting the race. [Picture in original article not included here]

I have such fond memories of Lieberman's campaign. Actually, it was never the Lieberman campaign. It was the Joe campaign. The Web site was www.joe2004.com. The campaign vehicle was the Joemobile. The blog was www.blogforjoe.com. Why the Joe theme? To identify with the average Joe, I suppose. And maybe because the folks at the Lieberman campaign thought the name Lieberman sounded, well, a bit too Joeish.

Joe was the heir apparent, Al Gore's right-hand man. A bit too right-hand, as it turned out. He started out the race with a presumptive seniority that might have been called, in the parlance of his campaign, PrimoJoeniture. But on the stump, voters found him Joematose. He had trouble rustling up Joenations. Antiwar Democrats in Iowa found his support of the Iraq war Joefensive. He went into a Joesdive. He was Joewhere.

In New Hampshire, however, he sensed a Joepening. All those McCain independents could vote in the state's Joepen primary. Joe set up house there and went to work. The crowds welcomed him with Joevations. He surged in the Joevernights. "Joementum!" crowed his campaign. He was Joevial.

Alas, Joeverconfidence felled him. He finished fifth in New Hampshire and was written off. He was Joast. Joadkill. D-Joe-A.

Yet he refused to bow out. The Joe must go on, he vowed. Critics said he was in Joenial, but he flew south, taking his Joe on the road. He faced down his lengthening odds with a certain Joe de vivre. Where would he break through? Joeklahoma? AriJoena? North DaJoeta? New MexiJoe? The Joe Me state?

Alas, he came up empty tonight. Joe-for-7. Joe-miliation.

Joe revoir, Joe. Joerivederci. Hasta Joe Vista. Somewhere conservative Democrats are laughing, and somewhere McCain independents shout. But there is no Joe in Mudville. Joe Lieberman has struck out.

Hehe and the other canidates are overjoed!

[LANMaster]

LOL, DN

[AcaCandy]

Joe is one example I was speaking of that shouldn't keep getting funding

[LANMaster]

Joe had some merit.
I'd hate to see the day when a Sharpton can get in the race and a Leiberman cannot.

[AcaCandy]

He obviously didn't 'say the things he needed to say' to the powers to be, who would have allowed him to stay in the race
