using Republican consultants and getting fundraising help from
long-time Republican donors. It isrumored that if he wins he may
caucus with the Republicans. Lieberman has been pulling a
significant amount ofRepublican supportwhich is not reliable. It
isnt clear what will happen on Election Day and this will all come
