Joe Lieberman, soul man

The piece about Joseph Lieberman by George Will posted below contains this statement: “If Lieberman wins South Carolina, it will be partly because, he says, ‘a certain bonding’ with African Americans occurred in the 2000 campaign. It also will be partly because of the resonance among blacks of his religiosity.” My guess is that if Lieberman wins South Carolina it will because he did very well with that state’s white voters.
HINDROCKET adds: I’m kind of biting my tongue here, Deacon, but suffice it to say that if black Democrats are dying to turn out to vote for a candidate because he’s an orthodox Jew, they’ve kept that impulse pretty well in check so far.
