I have seen nothing to indicate this.
There has been plenty to show that Gray Davis wanted conservative bill simon as the opponent instead of rino riordan and Davis supported simon and smashed riordan before the primary.
I have not seen what you describe.
Fact:the only important difference between Lieberman and Lament is the war.
Fact:Lieberman has made it clear that if he's elected he will call himself a democRAT.
And yet....Lieberman is treated like a skunk at a picnic by *every* top democRAT....Dean,Kennedy,Kerry,Clinton...even Dodd.
Just as Dean was the *true* choice of the movers and shakers of the Party in '04,Lament is their *true* choice today.To them,there's no room for Lieberman in a Party as "principled" and "brave" as theirs.
