The Daily Background
| Joe Lieberman will speak at GOP convention
by Arlen Parsa
The AP reports:
A Republican official tells The Associated Press that Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman will be speaking at the Republican National Convention.
The GOP official said Wednesday that Lieberman would deliver a speech as Republicans gathered in St. Paul to nominate John McCain for president. The official requested anonymity because a formal announcement had yet to been made.
Lieberman has little reason to attend the DNC convention, because he has been stripped of his super-delegate status and may be kicked out of the Democratic caucus next year.
Previously, he has said that “If Senator McCain feels that I can help his candidacy, which I think it’s so important to elect him our next President, I will do it… I’m going to go to a partisan convention and tell them — if I go — why it’s so important that we start to act like Americans and not as partisan mud-slingers.”
In 2004, former governor and then-Democratic senator Zell Miller spoke at the GOP convention and praised Bush’s presidency.
