WASHINGTON -- Presidential hopeful Sen. Joe Lieberman was all set to fire up his "WinnebaJoe" for a 21-city RV tour across Arizona this month. But last month, a critical gas pipeline in the state ruptured and was forced to shut down, creating fuel shortages in Phoenix and raising prices at some gas stations.

So the Connecticut Democrat decided to postpone his gas-guzzling trip until the state's fuel crunch is over.

"Even though I'm confident this is a temporary challenge with a solution in sight, we want to do our part in the meantime to help conserve," Lieberman said in a statement. "We look forward to getting the 'WinnebaJoe' on the road in Arizona on a future date."

nothing inspires cutting-edge leadership more than a winnebago tour... While Dean is gearing up for the Sleepless Summer Tour, we have poor Joe thinking that an RV is going to connect with disaffected voters.
