We're Pretty Certain Obama Will Remember
Hoffmania! — ... Joe the Windsock wants to jump ship, hoping no one's been paying attention. Joe Lieberman adopted the role of Republican attack dog early on, but as the election draws near, he's hoping the political world has a very short memory. Lieberman, a self-proclaimed "independent Democrat" who was chosen by McCain to make the case against Obama at the Republican National Convention in early September, said his comments have been within bounds.
