Lieberman Said Conceding if Winless Tuesday
Thanks to exit polls, it appears as if Edwards and Kerry are going to be duking it out for the Democratic Party nomination. Liberman was hammered, Dean was non-existent, while Sharpton polled well in South Carolina
Democrat Joe Lieberman, facing an uncertain showing in his must-win state of Delaware, was making contingency plans Tuesday to withdraw from the presidential race, according to sources close to the campaign.
The campaign was making calls to close supporters asking them to be at the Hyatt Regency in Arlington, Va., Tuesday night at the postelection party. If Lieberman does not win at least one state – and his best hope is Delaware – he will make his concession speech there, said the sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Not unexpected, but I must say that I am relatively pleased to see Edwards take up the #2 spot as predicted. The question is whether or not Edwards can pull ahead of Kerry. Possible, but not altogether probable at this point – although if he does make it a race, don’t be surprised to see Clark do well in Virginia. . .
