    Transcript

    I thought this was worth transcribing:

    [Sunset on a beach, apparently filmed on the West Coast rather than Connecticut. An extremely soothing female voice-over:]

    "Joe Lieberman thought you might enjoy a break from Ned Lamont's negative attacks. So just sit back, and and think about...good stuff. Like Senator Lieberman saving jobs, improving health care, and keeping us safe. Eighteen years of honest leadership. There's nothing negative about that."

    [Segue into still photo of Lieberman]

    "I'm Joe Lieberman, and I approved this message."
