Connecticut Sen. Lieberman Won't Seek Re-Election

by Craig LeMoult, NPR

Connecticut Sen. Joseph Lieberman has confirmed that he won't seek another term. Lieberman won his most recent election as an independent after losing the Democratic primary in 2006. He'll spend the next two years as a lame-duck senator, and some constituents are hoping that will allow him to rise above politics.
