The majority of military ballots were being contested because they didn't have postmarks which many never have. All he said was they should be looked at again, not that they should be counted.
Sammon’s take plays kind of like the HBO bit in that Lieberman was told the argument about how to ditch the ballots, but then he went on t.v. and didn’t support that position. I understand the argument that it was already too late to ditch the ballots, but even Sammon said that what Lieberman said on t.v. was used by the GOP to count the ballots.
I guess you have to ask yourself what the point of trashing Lieberman is. He is reviled by the left, as a search on You Tube will show you. If he did everything for his own sake, why did he support the war? That’s what lost him dem backing in his own primary. Even now, he went on Brokaw’s show and wouldn’t apologize for what he said in the campaign or for campaigning on behalf of McCain. He said he regretted some of what he said, but he wouldn’t apologize.
