Bear in mind that Lieberman was elected in 1988 over Weicker when Bill Buckley, Tom Scott and other principled conservatives decided it was time for Weicker to go. Lieberman's promise to the conservatives (which he has kept) was to be sound on foreign policy and defense.
I knew Buckley formed a group to toss Weicker, I didn't know Leiberman made that promise. Interesting.

The PAC was "Buckleys for Lieberman." Bob Dornan came in for a fundraiser. Tom Scott (five-term solid conservative state senator and scourge of Lowell Weicker) was an organizer.
Also, Weicker has briefly re-emerged in support of Red Ned Lamont.
