Hartford-AP July 20,2006 8:00 AM) _ One of the Democratic Party's biggest guns, former President Bill Clinton, is coming to Connecticut to campaign for Senator Joe Lieberman.

Clinton's visit, planned for July 24th in Waterbury, comes as a new Quinnpiac Poll shows Lieberman and his Democratic primary challenger, businessman Ned Lamont, in a statistical dead heat.

Lieberman's campaign has not yet revealed details of the planned visit. The two politicians have known each other since Clinton worked on Lieberman's first campaign for state Senate in 1970.

Clinton was a student at Yale University at the time. Clinton recently defended Lieberman's position on the war in Iraq, saying he agreed with Lieberman that the U-S should not set a strict timetable for withdrawing soldiers.

Clinton also said he thought it was wrong for Democrats to challenge one of their own.

Clinton recently defended Lieberman's position on the war in Iraq, saying he agreed with Lieberman that the U-S should not set a strict timetable for withdrawing soldiers.

So in other words Clinton agrees with Bush, but still criticizes Bush over this?

Looks like Bill won't be getting luck with Hellary for a while.

Why ever would he want that? Why ever would anyone want that?

[IrishMike]

Did Bill just make another move without checking the Beasts position, or getting her approval ?????

[coconutt2000]

What does Hillary get out of this? She can't go and defend Lieberman for obvious reasons, but her husband can.

Strange bedfellows, indeed.

SNORT!

Did Bubba run this by the MISSUS?

Clinton's role could be to sink Lieberman in the guise of "help".

He's done things for the Left that has made him look bad in the eyes of others, he has no shame, so sinking an opponent of his wife, someone not a true leftist, is well within his parameter space.

How many times has it helped to have Clinton campaign for someone? Poor ole' Lieberman.

This does not bode well for Lieberman. If memory serves me correctly, Clinton is 0-∞ when he supports someone.

"How many times has it helped to have Clinton campaign for someone? Poor ole' Lieberman."

Clintoon was well liked (For the most part) by Democrats in Connecticut, I don't think this will hurt Lieberman's chances and could actually help.

[don'tbedenied]

Say what you want to about Bubba-he is a political genius. He understands that if the nutroots get control of the Dems his wife is toast.

[CT-Freeper]

Hmmm...I live in Waterbury, but the 24th is a Monday, so I may be at work during the visit. Otherwise, I'd try to be there doing a Freeping. I've never done one before. It would probably be fun.

Here is another former klintoon sucker that said she is willing to "Blow into town to help Joe get relief.

Mrs. Lieberman has declined any "ass-istance" from ms lewd-insky.

[EmilyGeiger]

Is that a recent picture? wow.... it's not flattering.

Fairly recent, another success story brought to you by Jenny Craig.

Did you know that she was Policy Director at Pfizer, the primary beneficiary of the Kelo decision?

DU is going to make have a conniption fit over this.

If you can't fight them; join them. Clinton knows his presence could kill Liberman's campaign. The kiss of death.
