From AP:
U.S. Rep. Mark Kennedy, the GOP Minnesota Senate candidate, threw his support Thursday behind U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman's re-election campaign.
Lieberman lost the Connecticut Democratic primary Tuesday to anti-war candidate Ned Lamont, but is running as an independent in the general election.
"While very liberal Democrats have decided that they don't want Joe Lieberman in their party, America definitely needs men of Joe Lieberman's stature in the United States Senate," Kennedy said in a statement.
"There are many things the senator and I disagree on," he added. "In fact, I doubt he wants many Republican endorsements, given that millions of dollars have been spent attacking him for being too close to Republicans in fighting terrorism."
