Two things on this:

1) Lieberman has been "losing support" in Connecticut for a LONG time. The reason he ran as an independent is because he lost support from the state Democrats. The reason he still won re-election is because his opponent, Ned Lamont, ran a completely inept campaign (not that I'm complaining, I'm not a big Lamont fan).

2) From what I'm hearing, it's unlikely Lieberman will run again anyway.

This isn't even big news in CT - the bigger news around here is Dodd dropping out of the race. Between Chris Dodd and his father, the Dodd family has been a political force in the state back to the 1930s and 40s.

ETA: I'll at least give the article credit for admitting that Lieberman doesn't qualify as a conservative. I always thought it was funny when people would identify him as such.
