Sen. Christopher J. Dodd (D-Conn.), campaigning with his fellow home-state senator at a diner here, said: "This is the beginning of Lieberman week in New Hampshire." Lieberman aides said the Iowa results showed that Democratic voters are looking for an alternative to Dean and that Kerry and Edwards were mere "place-holders" for that desire.
[If that were true, I guess it was a mistake for Lieberman not to campaign in Iowa, huh?]
Lieberman on Tuesday received the endorsement of the conservative Manchester Union Leader newspaper, which called him a "man of conviction" and urged independent voters to consider supporting him in the Democratic primary.
The endorsement drew a rebuke of Lieberman from state Democratic Party Chairman Kathleen Sullivan. "I'm very disappointed that he accepted the Union Leader endorsement," she told reporters. "The Union Leader has not stood with Democratic principles for decades, and it really breaks my heart to see someone I respect so much accept an endorsement from that newspaper."
[Given that Lieberman is Republican in everything but name, it's no surprise to me that he got the MUL endorement...]
