Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman deeply unpopular with voters in his home state is unlikely to seek reelection, a knowledgeable source tells POLITICO ahead of the senators announcement on Wednesday
After many thoughtful conversations with family and friends over the last several months, Sen. Lieberman made a decision about his future over the holidays which he plans to announce on Wednesday, said Erika Masonhall, a Lieberman spokeswoman who declined to comment further Snip~
Liebermans announcement comes on the heels of Tuesdays declaration by Susan Bysiewicz, the former Connecticut secretary of state, that she plans to enter the 2012 Democratic primary field for Liebermans Senate seat. Rep. Chris Murphy also has expressed interest in the Democratic primary

That’s all well and good, but given CT’s deep blue demographic, do you think either Murphy or Bysiewicz would ever be supportive of a GOP President’s foreign policy? Liberal as Lieberman is on domestic issues, he has been solid on national security and foreign policy.
Lieberman, Conrad...how about Kerry and Schumer and Feinstein, too?
So much for the idea that a “moderate” can survive in today’s Trotskyesque Democrat party.
It’s composed of the far left, and then the so far left you can only see them with the Hubbell telescope.
The GOP should write off New England...steer funds toward candidates in purple states that actually stand a chance of winning.
There should be an age limit for senators....
.... and maybe a repeal of the 17th amendment...
Indeed that is the coup de gras for libs.
After the Dem sweeps in CT last November I agree.
Like throwing money down a rat hole.
That’s the .01% (and it was McCain).
I’d rather see the money spent to primary some RINO’s in 2012...Lugar and Snowe come to mind. You are dead on regarding ‘rat hole’.
