LIEBERMAN STATEMENT ON REPORTS OF GORE ENDORSING DEAN

ARLINGTON, VA -- Joe Lieberman issued the following statement in response to news reports that Al Gore has decided to endorse Howard Dean:

“I was proud to have been chosen by Al Gore in 2000 to be a heartbeat away from the presidency -- and am determined to fight for what’s right, win this nomination, and defeat George W. Bush next year.

“I have a lot of respect for Al Gore -- that is why I kept my promise not to run if he did. Ultimately, the voters will make the determination and I will continue to make my case about taking our party and nation forward.”

Ugghhh. Full-metal-ouch ... Note the "that is why I kept my promise ..."

Ouch ....

And as long as we're at it, Ouch!
