He srill galvanized many Jews who may
not have given in past political races to
donate, they say, but did not get the sup-
port from others because of his moderate
politics.
"Jews were happy for Lieberman,
happy he could run for president, but
sadly, just didn't embrace his politics,"
said Steve Rabinowitz, a Democratic
media strategist with ties to the Jewish
community.
Analyst Smart Rothenberg suggested
that if Lieberman were a Baptist, he
would have done worse. "Lieberman was
always out of sync with his party,
Rothenberg said. "He was not as liberal
on foreign policy and economic issues."
Many say Lieberman did not work hard
enough to build off the name recognition
he received as Gore's running mate.
"Unfortunately, he spent two years not
doing anything, resting on that flash reputa-
tion," Rabinowitz said. "He didn't develop
it, he didn't go out and meet big givers and
local leaders and mayors. "
Some say Lieberman had a sense of
entitlement, assuming that Democratic
anger over the Florida recount, the
Supreme Court decision signaling the
defeat of the Democrats that year, and
the fact that Gore and Lieberman won
the popular vote, would be enough to
bring voters to his side. His campaign
appearances often reflected on his 2000
experiences.
When Lieberman campaigned last
year, voters remembered the war in Iraq,
which Lieberman supported, and the
Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks a lot
more clearly than they did the 2000 elec-
tion scandals.
He su gg ested Tuesday night that he
would continue to channel the anger left
over from 2000, but now in service of
whomever wins the nomination, pledging
to "deny George Bush a second term."
Others say that Lieberman was handi-
capped by his choice to wait to launch
his campaign until Gore decided not to
enter the race. However, Gen. Wesley
Clark entered the race late, but has fared
better than Lieberman.
Lieberman did not stress his electabili-
ty enough on the trail, analysts suggest-
ed. "Voters wanted somebody who
could really stick it to Bush and is con-
frontational and aggressive," Rothenberg
said. That wasn't Lieberman. I I
