- Joe Lieberman (CFL-CT) resigning from the senate, leading Gov. Jodi Rell (R-CT) to appoint a Republican.
Democrats control veto-proof majorities in the State House and State Senate in the Nutmeg State, and would thus call for a special election in short order to vault AG-for-life Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) into the world's most deliberative body.
But even ignoring this possibility, he won't resign. From all his public statements, Joe Lieberman believes he's right to keep supporting the war. Why would he resign and give his seat to someone he thinks is wrong?
