Joseph Isadore "Joe" Lieberman (born February 24, 1942) is a United States Senator from Connecticut. Lieberman was first elected to the United States Senate in 1988, and was elected to his fourth term on November 7, 2006. In the 2000 U.S. presidential election, Lieberman was the Democratic candidate for Vice President, running alongside presidential nominee Al Gore, becoming the first Jewish candidate on a major American political party presidential ticket. He and his running mate won the popular vote, but failed to gain the electoral votes needed to win the election. Lieberman ran for re-election to the U.S. Senate while he was also Gore's running-mate, and he was re-elected by the voters of Connecticut. ^[2] He attempted to become the Democratic nominee in the 2004 Presidential election, but was unsuccessful.

They had two children — Matt and Rebecca. Betty later worked as a psychiatric social worker. In 1981, the couple divorced. When asked about the divorce in an interview with New York Magazine, Lieberman said that his time intensive public life and differences on religious observance (Betty was a Reform Jew) strained the marriage. ^[7] Abraham Ribicoff Abraham Alexander Ribicoff (April 9, 1910â€“February 22, 1998) was an American politician. ...

Religion

Lieberman is an Orthodox Jew, though he was less observant in 1965 when he married his first wife who was a Reform Jew. Since the death in 1967 of Lieberman's grandmother, a deeply religious immigrant, he found renewed interest in religious observance. His second wife, Hadassah, is also an observant Orthodox Jew. "Hadassah calls herself my right wing," says Lieberman.^[7] In Lieberman's 1988 upset of GOP incumbent Senator Lowell Weicker, his religious observance was mostly viewed in terms of inability to campaign on Shabbat. This changed when Gore chose Lieberman as his running mate; a Lieberman press officer who spoke on condition of anonymity said: Orthodox Judaism is one of the three major branches of Judaism. ...

In 1994, Lieberman made history by winning by the largest landslide ever in a Connecticut Senate race, drawing 67 percent of the vote and beating Jerry Labriola, his Republican opponent, by more than 350,000 votes.

In 2000, Lieberman ran for reelection once again, and when Al Gore nominated him for Vice President Lieberman remained on the Senate ballot. This was not unprecedented; Democratic VP candidates Lyndon Johnson in 1960 and Lloyd Bentsen in 1988 both ran for Senate at the same time as running for Vice President, hoping to maintain that seat in the Senate if they lost the Vice Presidency. Unlike Johnson and Bentsen, however, Lieberman's decision would have affected control of the Senate whether he had become Vice President or Senator. The Vice President of the United States (sometimes referred to as VPOTUS[1] or Veep) is the first in the presidential line of succession, becoming the new President of the United States upon the death, resignation, or removal of the president. ...

If Lieberman had won both races, he would have become Vice President, leaving his Senate seat open. The Republican Governor of Connecticut, John G. Rowland, would nominate somebody to take Lieberman's Senate seat, most likely a Republican, thus giving the Senate a Republican majority.

Nevertheless, Lieberman easily defeated his Republican opponent, Philip Giordano, 63 percent to 34 percent. Philip Giordano (1963-) is the former Republican mayor of Waterbury, Connecticut and a convicted sex offender. ...

Vice-Presidential campaign, 2000

In August 2000, Lieberman was selected as the nominee for Vice President of the United States by Al Gore, the Democratic Party nominee for President. Lieberman was the first Jewish candidate on a major political party presidential ticket. The announcement of Lieberman's selection may have resulted in an increase in support for Gore's campaign.^[23] The Gore/Lieberman ticket won a plurality of the popular vote, with over half a million more votes than the Republican ticket of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, but they were defeated in the Electoral College by a vote of 271 to 266. The Gore campaign lost Florida by only 537 votes after the U.S. Supreme Court prevented a select recount of the popular vote in four Florida counties (Broward, Miami Dade, Palm Beach, and Volusia).

Popular culture and media controversy

Bush and the "kiss"

Following his 2005 State of the Union address, President Bush, while shaking lawmakers’ hands, abruptly grasped Lieberman’s head in both hands and leaned in close to his cheek. The incident became known as "the kiss." At first, Lieberman's staff humorously referred to the embrace as "some kind of Yale thing."^[46] However, political backlash arose among Lamont supporters and other critics of Lieberman. Lamont backers used the incident in a campaign button: "The Kiss: Too Close for Comfort"^[47] and a large papier-mache sculpture that followed Lieberman on the campaign trail.^[48] Lieberman has since denied the kiss took place. "I don't think he kissed me, he leaned over and gave me a hug and said 'thank you for being a patriotic American,'" Lieberman told Time Magazine.^[49] After Lieberman's defeat in the Democratic primary, an editorial claimed Bush's sign of affinity cost him the nomination, and referred to the incident as "the kiss of death."
