August 2, 2006 -- Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson will hit the trail today in support of the man challenging Sen. Joe Lieberman in the Connecticut Democratic primary.

"I think Joe Lieberman is a nice and decent man . . . but his policies are not what the party ought to be standing for," Sharpton told The Post yesterday.

"He has been much more aligned with George Bush" on specific issues than he should be, Sharpton said.

Lieberman and fellow Democrat Ned Lamont are in a neck-and-neck race, where Lamont has harnessed liberal voters' anger over the senator's support for the Iraq war.
