HARTFORD, Conn. -- One of the Democratic Party's biggest guns, former President Bill Clinton, is coming to Connecticut to campaign for Senator Joe Lieberman.
Clinton's visit, planned for July 24 in Waterbury, comes as a new Quinnpiac Poll shows Lieberman and his Democratic primary challenger, businessman Ned Lamont, in a statistical dead heat.
Lieberman's campaign has not yet revealed details of the planned visit.
The two politicians have known each other since Clinton worked on Lieberman's first campaign for state Senate in 1970.
Clinton was a student at Yale University at the time. Clinton recently defended Lieberman's position on the war in Iraq, saying he agreed with Lieberman that the US should not set a strict timetable for withdrawing soldiers.
Clinton also said he thought it was wrong for Democrats to challenge one of their own.
