South Carolina’s Republican and Democratic parties will be holding their respective primaries on back-to-back Saturdays (Jan. 19 and Jan. 26). Joe Lieberman wants the Orthodox locals to remember they can vote absentee. And, when they do, vote McCain.
According to the Orthodox Union’s D.C. blog, Lieberman will be delivering the message in person tomorrow Wednesday:
Senator Joe Lieberman’s (I-D) endorsement tour of Senator John McCain – credited with boosting his campaign in New Hampshire – now continues into South Carolina. Lieberman sent a letter to the Jewish community urging Sabbath observers to vote absentee in the first Southern primary.
Lieberman touches down tomorrow and will campaign for and with McCain, including a stop at OU member congregation Brith Shalom Beth Israel.
