Guardian: Reports that the Independent Democrat Senator Joe Lieberman wont run for re-election in 2012 due to the prospects that he would lose that fight. One has a lot of sympathy for Senator Lieberman, he supported the Iraq War and thus President Bush, this made him an outcast in Democratic politics, a might fall for a man that had been the Democratic Nominee for VP with Al Gore in 2000. One can argue that the mistake made by Senator Lieberman was that he supported the Democrats in their control of the US Senate, he never made the move to the Republicans, if he had become a Republican and helped them regain the Senate then he might have won re-election in 2012 with Republican support. If your going to cross the bridge you better go all the way, in the end Senator Lieberman never took that final step and thus his forthcoming statemetn that he wont run in 2012.
