After campaigning in other states for Republican John McCain, Sen. Joseph http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=1544 now holds a formal post with the presidential candidate’s campaign in Connecticut.
http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=1890, a member of the Senate Democratic caucus, was named Tuesday a chairman of McCain’s state leadership team, with U.S. Rep. Christopher Shays, R-4th District.
Democrats immediately wondered if Lieberman, who declared himself an “independent Democrat” after his re-election in 2006, would campaign here for McCain.
“Very often those titles are ceremonial. I can’t imagine the senator would be campaigning in the state for McCain,” said Nancy DiNardo, the Democratic state chairman. “But I’ve been surprised before.”
Michael Sohn, the newly named state director of the McCain campaign, was unsure if Lieberman will spend time in Connecticut for McCain or continue his efforts out of state.”Both Joe and I are totally committed to McCain,” Shays said. “He is ready right now to hit the ground running.”
