He thanked Gore for the opportunity to run with him for high office and the American people for accepting his candidacy without bigotry. In selecting me, a Jewish American, to be his running mate, Vice President Gore did what no presidential candidate before him had done. Anything is possible for anyone in America. He said he was heartened that the country was strong enough to withstand the election's five weeks of lingering uncertainty. Lieberman, who simultaneously ran for re-election to the Senate and handily won, told reporters that he was confident he could return to the Senate without rancor from Republican colleagues.
Campaigns are by their nature partisan.
I have not changed. I intend to return to the Senate as the same person I've always been. He admitted that he still thinks more people in Florida at least believed they had voted for him and Gore, and he said Congress should investigate voting systems around the country. Lieberman would not speculate Thursday on whether he or Gore would be a presidential candidate in 2004. May thier hearts not be further burdened by such arrogance.
