The Middletown Press -- Lieberman faces tough challenger in Graham

In a meeting with Connecticut Democrats last week, officials said Lieberman acknowledged that the early primary contests will be tough for him.

But if Lieberman can make a respectable showing in those two states, campaign insiders believe he can then take off as the primaries move to the South and southern New England.

That will be made far more difficult, however, if Graham, a three-term senator and former Florida governor, jumps into the fray.

Leiberman is far from my first choice.
