Indepedent Republican

Joe Lieberman (R-CT).

Not only has Lieberman endorsed Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine.) -- one of Democrats' biggest targets in the 2008 cycle -- but he's planning to co-host a fundraiser for her on June 21 in Washington, D.C.


The event, which will be held in a Capitol Hill location still to be determined, will feature Lieberman and Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) -- a very rare bipartisan fundraiser. Attendees are being asked to raise $3,000; $2,000 would come in the form of a political action committee donation while the other $1,000 would be a personal contribution, according to an electronic invite for the fundraiser obtained today by The Fix.


"Let's try to make this a bi-partisan tour de force," reads the invite.


If by bi-partisan you mean "with the continued exclusion of Democrats," then ok, I can buy that. Are we all clear whose side Joe is on?

Minor nit - the Fix labels Lieberman (D-CT) instead of his registered affiliation (I-CT) or his actual one (R-CT).
