When last we checked in on him, Joe Lieberman was facing an essentially hopeless predicament as his 2012 reelection year approached: Winning the Democratic nomination would be out of the question (too many burned bridges), running as a Republican would be a dead end (unlike in 2006, the party will field a real candidate in '12), and another independent bid would be futile (Lieberman is broadly unpopular with Connecticut voters). The most logical scenario had him eventually realizing all of this and, at 70 years old, opting to hang it up in '12.
