Can you feel the Joementum? Can you?

Large-mouthed Democratic Senator from Connecticut is getting such much needed assistance from some colleagues in the United States Senate.

Some of the more liberal members of the Senate caucus like Barbara Boxer and Joe Biden are teaming up with Joe to help convince Connecticut primary voters that November should be a Joemember to remember. Weird.

From the AP/WaPo:

WASHINGTON — Embattled Democratic Sen. Joe Lieberman is getting a little help from his Senate friends as he tries to fend off an anti-Iraq war challenger in an intraparty fight.

Sens. Joe Biden of Delaware, Barbara Boxer of California and Ken Salazar of Colorado plan to campaign in Connecticut for Lieberman between now and the Aug. 8 primary. Their goal is to reassure the party faithful of the three-term senator’s loyalty to Democratic causes, including women’s issues, labor and the environment.

“It will be a reminder to voters of the work he’s done on progressive issues,” Lieberman spokeswoman Marion Steinfels said Wednesday. “Some of his colleagues wanted to come here and campaign for him on issues that matter to him and them.”

The rush of support from his Senate colleagues comes two days after Lieberman, the party’s 2000 vice presidential nominee, surprised Democrats by announcing that he would start collecting signatures for an independent campaign if he loses the primary.

It seems that in all his days in the U.S. Senate, Joe has lost sight of the fact that it’s not about Joe, it’s about the process. If he truly respected the party, the process, and the voters, he’d run hard and if his constituents deem him unfit for command, he should step aside.

Update: Senator John Kerry (D-MA) will support whichever candidate wins the CT primary.

Update II: Senator Ken Salazar (D-CO) will support Sen. Lieberman, even if he loses the August primary.
