Joe Lieberman 6 years ago:

KING: Are you concerned about, and we had him on last, Ralph Nader?

LIEBERMAN: Well, this is, as we said before, Larry, this is a close election, and any number of factors can swing different states. And no question, Ralph Nader can have an effect on how a handful of states go that could determine who the next president of the United States is.

And you know, we've been saying, in some of these states, a vote for Nader is a vote for Bush. I guess we were validated in that statement by the fact that there's a Republican committee paying money to television stations to run a commercial with Ralph Nader attacking Al Gore.

But our appeal is to people thinking about voting for Ralph Nader to think about the issues that matter to you, environmental protection, consumer protection, right to choose, campaign finance reform, McCain-Feingold. And Al Gore and I are so much closer to your position on that than George Bush and Dick Cheney. I just think about how you're going feel if you wake up November 8, and your vote for Ralph Nader helped elect George Bush president, and a lot that you value will be threatened in the years ahead.

So, but the Nader vote can be very important. I think it's beginning to move toward Al and me. I sure hope so.

Six years later it's now a vote for Lieberman is a vote for Bush---How Ironic.
