Susan Collins, a Maine Republican who is running for re-election in the U.S. Senate this November, received an endorsement from Joe Lieberman, a former Democratic U.S. senator from Connecticut. Lieberman was Al Gore's running mate in the 2000 presidential election.
Lieberman's endorsement comes from a commercial paid for by the Republican Jewish Coalition Victory Fund.
Campbell, who lives in Randolph, came up about 800 votes short of the 2,000 write-ins she needed in the September 1 Republican primary, according to the Massachusetts Secretary of State's office.
