No republican hugs for Joe at event, but that doesn't mean they don't care
No hugs or kisses for Lieberman at submarine session

Associated Press
Published August 24 2006

WATERFORD, Conn. -- No Republicans kissed embattled Senator Joseph Lieberman Thursday. They even refused to hug the Democrat, who is running as an independent after losing the Democratic primary to Ned Lamont.

But that doesn't mean they don't care. It's just a delicate topic in Connecticut these days.

Lieberman has been criticized for his perceived closeness to President Bush, who appeared to kiss the senator on his cheek following his 2005 State of the Union address.

"I did say to Joe on the way in I wasn't going to hug him," said Republican Gov. M. Jodi Rell.
