Joe Lieberman, the Nutmeg State Nuisance, seems to have lost his Joe-mentum. And possibly his mo-Joe. So I bet he’s not feeling very Joe-vial these days. From TPM:
If Joe Lieberman decides to run for a fifth term in 2012, a new Quinnipiac poll suggests that it may be a lost cause.
The new poll tests Lieberman as an independent against Democratic Attorney General Richard Blumenthal. The numbers: Blumenthal 58%, Lieberman 30%. Yikes.
Lieberman’s active campaigning against the Democratic Party last year hasn’t won him too many friends back home. Democrats go for Blumenthal by 83%-9%, and independents are for Blumenthal 55%-29%. Lieberman is the de facto Republican nominee in this match, and with GOP voters he scores 67%-23% over Blumenthal.
Good for you, Connecticut. You have many reasons to be proud.
