Joe Lieberman is campaigning for John McCain in south Florida today, and the McCain campaign released its Florida Jewish Steering Committee: "As a Jewish American, I recognize Senator McCain has been a long-time friend of the Jewish community and shares our values. His twenty-five year record of unequivocal support for the state of Israel and his overall foreign policy experience is unmatched, and that is why I am proud to stand with my fellow Jewish leaders in supporting his campaign for President," said House Majority Leader Adam Hasner, chair of the steering committee.

Meanwhile Robert Wexler just finished up a conference sign for the Obama campaign, touting Obama’s strength on issues critical to Jewish voters - not just Israel ("On every issue of importance Sen Obama is on the right side for Israel") but Social shield and abortion, among other things. Wexler dismissed the influence of Lieberman.

"Sen. Lieberman does not enjoy credibility with my consitituents at that point…The Sen Lieberman that was on the poll in November 2000 is not the same Sen. Lieberman, in terms of the insight of the voters in my area, that is campaigning in south Florida in 2008. They’re two very different kinds of

politicians." The full McCain steering committee is at the jump.
