Delaware Liberal

Looking For A Silver Lining?

Well, I’ve found one.

If Joe Lieberman decides to run for a fifth term in 2012, a new Quinnipiac pollsuggests 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.

Color me ecstatic, and just a little bit petty, but this strikes me as an appropriate punishment for the Linda Tripp of  the Senate.
