Lieberman to Retire?

So reports Hot Air:

The Joementum’s been steadily slowing since Gore put him on the ticket and now he’s all but unelectable even in a deep blue state. No official word yet on his plans, but this site claims to have heard through the grapevine that he’s bowing out tomorrow and Politico’s now hearing the same.

Look at it this way: When he speaks at the next Republican convention in 2012, he won’t have to hold back…

It wouldn’t surprise me – the only way I can see Lieberman even possibly winning in 2012 is if he switched to the GOP…and doing that means he immediately loses his seniority and his chairmanships…and has no assurance of getting them back, even if the GOP wins a Senate majority in 2012. It might just be time to retire from the scene for Joe Lieberman – no place for a moderate in the Democrat party, any more…
