New theme for the Lieberman campaign

The New York Times quotes Joe Lieberman:

''I am committed to this campaign,'' he said on NBC's ''Today'' program Wednesday morning, ''to a different kind of politics, to bringing the Democratic Party back from Ned Lamont, Maxine Waters, to the mainstream, and for doing something for the people of Connecticut.''

The New York Times peaks inside the Lieberman campaign:

“Lieberman aides said that Mr. Lamont's association with Mr. Sharpton and Mr. Jackson -- both of whom campaigned vigorously for Mr. Lamont -- was a political albatross that helped explain why Mr. Lieberman believed he could win over a majority of voters.''Primary night was the first time that many Connecticut voters saw Lamont on TV, and he's surrounding himself with two of the more divisive and problematic figures in the Democratic Party,'' said Dan Gerstein, a veteran Lieberman aide who was appointed communications director for the campaign last week.”

Hmm, Maxine Walters, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, what do these three have in common…?
