Independent Senator Joe Liberman of Connecticut said on Tuesday that he has not yet decided which candidate he will support in the race for the White House, adding that both campaigns have become overly negative and financially extravagant.  

“You know, the campaign has I think already set records for nastiness and negativity," Lieberman said on CNN. "It’s the opposite of what the country needs. I haven’t [decided on who to support] because I can think of positives and negatives about both of these people in terms of the kind of president they would be.”
