Lieberman to endorse McCain

Posted at 4:06 PM on December 16, 2007 by Tom Scheck

Bill Kristol and Politico are reporting that Joe Lieberman, who was the Democratic candidate for vice-president in 2000, will back Arizona Senator John McCain (a Republican) for President. Lieberman, who was reelected in 2006 after losing the Democratic primary, is now calling himself an "Independent Democrat."

This will obviously help McCain in independent minded New Hampshire. What do you think this does to the race?
