Lieberman to announce retirement ?

Reports: Lieberman Expected To Announce Retirement | TPMDC



An increasing number of reports are indicating that Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT), who is set to announce tomorrow whether he will run again, will ultimately announce that he is retiring in 2012.


The Hartford Courant reports:

"You can bet the farm" that Lieberman won't seek a fifth term in 2012, said a Democratic insider who is close to the 22-year Senate veteran.
But neither Lieberman nor his Senate office would confirm that.



And now The Day in New London reports:

Sen. Joe Lieberman will announce Wednesday that he won't seek re-election in 2012, multiple sources close to the senator said on Tuesday.



The Lieberman announcement will come just a day after Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz announced her plans to run for his seat.

Lieberman would face serious problems if he were to run again -- either in the Democratic primary to rejoin his former party, or the Republican primary, or as an independent.

After he lost the 2006 Democratic primary, he was then re-elected as an independent with unofficial Republican support.
Although he remained in the Democratic caucus -- as he'd pledged to do during that campaign -- he nevertheless campaigned aggressively for John McCain for president in 2008, and spoke at the Republican National Convention. After McCain lost the election to Barack Obama, Lieberman settled back into place in the Democratic caucus.

During the health care reform debate, Lieberman further inflamed liberals by helping to stop the public option proposal, promising to support a Republican filibuster.
He did in fact ultimately vote for final passage of the more conservative reform law that did not include a public option -- and which is a bane to Republican voters.

This past October, a survey from Public Policy Polling (D) found Lieberman running in third place in various trial heats with hypothetical Democratic and Republican candidates, with only marginally positive ratings from Republican voters and deeply negative ratings with Democrats and independents.

Joe Lieberman Insists Iraq Was Developing WMDs Despite No Evidence


During an appearance on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" today, Senator Joe Lieberman (I-Conn) continued to insist that Saddam Hussein was developing weapons of mass destruction even though none were ever found after the invasion of Iraq.

The senator, retiring his seat in 2012, also said that despite the enormous cost to the U.S. in blood, prestige and treasure he does not regret his vote for war and would do it all over again.

I wasn't a Mcain fan. I only voted for him to vote against bam bam and I'm certainly no lieberman fan. A dem who got his ass handed to him so he became an independent.

Independent, yeah sure you are.
