Today, we're learning that Joe Lieberman isn't running for reelection:
Senator Joseph I. Lieberman will announce on Wednesday that he will not seek a fifth term, according to a person he told of his decision.He would have been defeated and that would have been a better. In fact, earlier today, PPP's Tom Jensen wrote a post titled, Why Lieberman Would Have Lost.
Mr. Lieberman, whose term is up in 2012, chose to retire rather than risk being defeated, said the person, who spoke to the senator on Tuesday.
“I don’t think he wanted to go out feet first,” the person said,.
Yes, he helped on DADT repeal. But, for the most part, this guy undermined the progressive agenda for years. And, let's not forget how he campaigned against Obama in 2008.
Good riddance.
