WASHINGTON, June 5 (UPI) -- Barack Obama, now the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, had five minutes of intense chat with Joseph Lieberman on the floor of the U.S. Senate.
Lieberman, who ran and won as an independent after losing the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate in Connecticut in 2006, still caucuses with the Democrats. But he is campaigning for Republican U.S. Sen. John McCain for president and has agreed to speak at the Republican convention.
