Former U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman, the 2000 Democratic vice presidential candidate who supported Republican John McCain for president in 2008, has been named co-chair of No Labels, the national group that seeks common ground among political leaders. Bridgeport resident David Walker, former U.S. Comptroller General, co-founded the organization. Walker, who has his Black Rock house for sale, says he’s likely to leave Connecticut now that Republican Tom Foley lost the governor’s race. Several political sources say Walker was under consideration for state budget director had Foley won.
From The Hill:
Former Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) is stepping into the position vacated by Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) at the centrist group No Labels.
The organization said Monday that it is making Lieberman–the 2000 Democratic vice presidential nominee–its new national co-chairman.
“I’m delighted to be joining No Labels at this critical time,” Lieberman said. “We are getting closer, as a nation, to healing our divisions and working together, but we have a long way to go. The 2016 presidential elections are a great opportunity to focus on problem-solving, and No Labels is the only group that can make that happen.”

Joe, please get off the stage, your time has long been gone, and what a turncoat, just “Go, Joe” go away, please.
I think Lieberman is a good choice as well as David Walker. They are comfortable with both parties and let’s face it, no party has all the answers.
I’d like to report a missing person:
Jennifer Buchanan where are you? You are missed! Don’t tell me you sold the house and moved already. I think David Walker, Jennifer Buchanan and Tom White keep this blog from becoming a nauseating one-sided event no different than Fox News or MSNBC. Vive la différence!
The ghost of Machiavelli thinks Joe Lieberman is the latest politician trying to transform Connecticut from a Blue state into a Red state–this time in the Presidential year of 2016.
No Labels is a do-nothing feel-good organization, what have they done? Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg did a very good job in this last election backing and giving money to both Republicans and Democrats who ran for office.
