Connecticut for Lieberman

Joe Lieberman gets certified as a third party candidate in Connecticut:

Hartford, CN (AHN) - U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman has been certified to appear on his state's ballot as an independent candidate in November. The senator relaunched his campaign after losing the Democratic primary.

Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz told the AP that Lieberman far exceeded the 7,500 signatures necessary to be certified as a third-party candidate. He will contest the general election ballot under his newly created party, Connecticut for Lieberman.

This newly formed party has given Lieberman secured a position higher on the ballot than he would have had as an independent.

Dan Gerstein, Lieberman's campaign spokesman told AP, "We are happy to have cleared this hurdle, so we can focus on bringing people together in Connecticut for a new politics of unity and purpose."

While "Rinos" start to distance themselves from the war...at least Lieberman is holding his ground.
