Lieberman casts doubt on Palin's readiness
MSNBC
From NBC's Domenico MontanaroCheck out this piece from the Stamford (CT) Advocate, particularly this line:
"...Lieberman Friday continued to stand by Republican John McCain's selection of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as a running mate. But when asked by The Advocate if Palin is ready to be president from day one, Lieberman said 'thank God she's not going to have to be president from day one. McCain's going to be alive and well.'
He added, "Let's hope she never has to be ready because we hope McCain is elected and live out his term," Lieberman said. "But if, God forbid, an accident occurs or something of that kind, she'll be ready. She's had executive experience. She's smart. And she will have had on-the-job training." ...
"Some high-profile Republicans in recent weeks have publicly condemned McCain's choice of Palin as his running mate and also the tone of their nominee's campaign and its attacks on Obama's character. Lieberman would not do either Friday and at one point scolded reporters for asking him questions about the topic." ...
Speaking of Obama directly, Lieberman said he might vote for him as president someday in the future, but specified the Democrat is 'less prepared' than McCain. He later says if McCain loses, he'll "do everything I can to be bringing people together across party lines to support the new president so he can succeed. What's at stake for our country is just too serious."

Lieberman: Polls are so bad he doesn’t believe them
The Hill
No Wonder These Guys Are Losing:
Sunday’s New York Times Magazine will feature a long article, available on the Times’ website now, offering an inside view of John McCain’s Presidential campaign, and it’s pretty easy to see why the race is in the state that it is today.
Based on interviews with top campaign officials, the article makes the point that, while Barack Obama has had the same campaign narrative from the day he announced his run for the White House, the McCain campaign has consistently been struggling with how to come up with a campaign narrative that works. First there was John McCain the advocate of victory in Iraq who put his country first, which was seen most starkly, and most effectively, in the ad that McCain put out shortly after clinching the Republican nomination. When it became clear over the summer that that strategy wasn’t working, the campaign began emphasizing McCain’s bipartisan record and willingness to take on his own party. Then, when Obama seemed to surge after his trip to Europe, they began characterizing him as a celebrity in an ad campaign that actually did some damage. That didn’t last long, though, because once the Palin picked was announced we were graced with the theme of a “Team of Mavericks.” Then, when the economy started tanking in September, McCain engaged in what can only be characterized as an incredibly unsuccessful political stunt., When that didn’t work, McCain started going negative, mostly by using Sarah Palin as the attack dog, but it became very clear very early that he was regretting that decision. Then, finally, he spent some time trying to characterize himself as a fighter, but then decided to become the champion of the plumbing industry.
And now they are letting Joe Lieberman
run around without a short leash.

Charity dinner aids Bridgeport foundation
Connecticut Post
Two generations of journalism royalty descended on Greenwich Thursday to support the Bridgeport-based Inner-City Foundation for Charity Education.
Former NBC News anchor Tom Brokaw spoke to a crowd of 750 at the foundation's 17th annual Benefit Dinner at the Hyatt Regency Greenwich, with Luke Russert, son of the late "Meet the Press" moderator Tim Russert, presenting its "Tim Russert Making a Difference Award."
Established in 1992, The Inner-City Foundation raises money for agencies and institutions that assist disadvantaged adults and children in Fairfield County.
Non-sectarian but affiliated with Diocese of Bridgeport, the foundation has awarded $20 million in grants for scholarships, food, housing, literacy education and other programs in its lifetime, and $2 million last year alone.
More than half of that figure paid for children in Bridgeport, Danbury, Norwalk and Stamford to attend private schools and community colleges.
"That's what's so great about Catholic charities," said Russert, a recent graduate of Boston College. "You actually know you're shaping a child's future." Invest in children's educations, he said, and "there's no limit to the success they can achieve. They can carry themselves as far as they want."
