Lieberman to Retire
That’s what Connecticut politico Kevin Rennie is reporting:

United States Senator Joseph Lieberman (I-CT) is expected to announce Wednesday that he will not seek a 5th term in 2012, Daily Ructions has learned. Lieberman has invited supporters to an event at the Marriott hotel in Stamford Wednesday afternoon for his announcement.

Cook has Lieberman’s seat as “Lead D” in 2012.

UPDATE: Former Connecticut secretary of state Susan Bysiewicz has already announced she’ll vie for the Democratic nomination for Lieberman’s seat. Her internal polling purportedly shows her ahead of much of the probable field, including Linda McMahon

#1 Buh-bye, Joe. Won't miss you a bit. Some people call you independent. Others say moderate. I remember your vote on ObamaCare. I remember how you stood with Al Gore. Good riddance.

#2 Joe has been one of the very few politicians I trusted. He told you what he was going to do, and then he did it. And he was way out there on the Right fringe on national defense, especially for a northeastern Democrat. You may not like him, but I guarantee his successor will be worse (even if he/she is a Republican.)
