"Referendum On The War In Iraq"...
Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman, his political future on the line in Connecticut's Democratic primary, stumped for votes today in last-minute campaigning to turn back the challenge of a political novice in a race that has become a referendum on the war in Iraq.
Lieberman, 64, a three-term senator who was the Democratic vice presidential nominee in 2000, entered primary day trailing Ned Lamont, 52, a wealthy antiwar businessman, by six percentage points, according to a poll released yesterday by Quinnipiac University. But the same poll four days earlier showed Lamont with a 13-point lead, indicating that Lieberman was making inroads as he defended his support for the war in Iraq and his 18-year Senate record.
