Carper.^[2] After his defeat in the primary Lieberman withdrew from the race for the nomination.^[3]

Exit polls showed that over half of voters who took part in the primary said they were 'angry' with the administration of George W. Bush and over 80% said they opposed the decision to go to war with Iraq.^[4]
