"The Note"
Lieberman:

The Union Leader reports that Lieberman says he won't drop out of the race, even if he finishes below third in New Hampshire. LINK

From ABC News' Lieberman campaign reporter Talesha Reynolds:

While Senator Lieberman had kind words for Dick Gephardt the day after his disappointing finish in Iowa, he admitted before the Congressman's official withdrawal from the race that he is seeking the backing of former Gephardt supporters like South Carolina Congressman Jim Clyburn. "There's no question I'm reaching out through other members of Congress who are supporting me to the members of Congress who supported Dick Gephardt," he said. "I don't expect them to make quick decisions, but I have a lot of good friends there and I'm hopeful as this goes on that I will enjoy their support."

Lieberman and Clyburn worked together in 2002 to secure federal funding to rehabilitate black colleges and before Clyburn endorsed Gephardt, Lieberman asked Clyburn to make him his "second choice," preparing for the possibility of Gephardt dropping out. Last week Lieberman started running a series of ads in South Carolina last week that include a line about working with Clyburn on education and funding black colleges. LINK

Clark:

From ABC News Clark campaign reporter Deborah Apton:

It's all about New Hampshire for the campaign — surrogates like Jamie Rubin and Wes Clark Jr. will campaign in other primary states, but advance staff and Little Rock "big wigs" remain perched by The General's side. And as new Kerry signs pop up along South Willow Street in Manchester (ones like "Doubting Dean? Vote Kerry."), it is clear that there is no "Dean Alternative" to speak of in New Hampshire. Rather, a group of three candidates hovering around three top spots. Among the other big challenges for the campaign? Not letting Clark lose his voice again as it becomes raspier with each campaign stop.
