Plan B

HARTFORD, Conn. - U.S. Sen.
Joe Lieberman, facing a stronger-than-expected Democratic primary challenge and sagging poll numbers because of his support of the
Iraq war, said Monday he'll collect signatures to run as an unaffiliated candidate if he loses next month's primary.

"While I believe that I will win the Aug. 8 primary, I know there are no guarantees in elections," Lieberman told reporters on the steps of Connecticut's statehouse Monday. "No one really knows how many Democrats will come out to vote on what may be a hot day in August."


Do you hear that, Dems? Holy Joe says y'all can't take the heat. Heh.
