Lieberman says he would likely pursue reelection as an Independent

The Hill's Blog Briefing Room:

"Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) said he's likely to pursue reelection as an Independent, if he decides to run again at all.

Lieberman, who was reelected in 2006 as an Independent after having lost his state's Democratic primary, said he hadn't made any decisions about whether to run again, or whether he'd run as a candidate in either party.

'I'd say right now if I run again, it's more likely I'll run as an Independent,' Lieberman said Friday on MSNBC.

The Connecticut senator has caucused with Democrats since beating challengers from both parties in the 2006 general election, though he angered many Democrats by campaigning for Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in 2008's presidential election."
