Lieberman for Linda McMahon
ThinkProgress spots Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) mulling a jump to the Republican Party in this interview. I’m struck by another part of the interview, in which Lieberman entertains the idea of opposing the phenomenally popular state attorney general, Richard Blumenthal, who’s leading by better than 2-1 margins in the race for the Chris Dodd’s open Senate seat. The problem, says Lieberman, is that Blumenthal supported Ned Lamont in 2006, while possible GOP candidate Linda McMahon “was good enough to support me financially and politically.” (UPDATE: Lieberman also said he might back former Rep. Rob Simmons.)
