Joe Lieberman endorses Susan Collins, appears in ad for her in Maine

55. Lieberman did take a hard shift to the right after 9/11, too.

What bugged me about him was that in 2000, he enthusiastically endorsed late military ballots being counted in Florida (which of course would have tended Republican). I was looking this up recently, and if memory serves, about 1500-1700 late military ballots were accepted. This had nothing to do with the postmark - they were cast after the election and no one would say boo about it.

Then, when he (deservedly) lost the Democratic primary in 2002, he put himself on the ballot anyway. It still maddens me that he cared more about his own losing efforts in 2002 than the ballot I cast in 2000 where he actually won the election!

Lieberman did not deserve Al Gore's faith in him. He really let down the side.
