Joe Lieberman has called a Press conference on the steps of the Capital in Hartford for 1PM today.My Sources are telling me his staffers are calling reporters to tell them this is a Major announcement and they should attend.
Many Believe Lieberman will announce he is indeed taking out petitions to gather the 7500 signatures needed to be on the Nov. ballot as an independent since his pollster has already told him he is losing among Most Likely and Likely Voters.
I have sources in attendence and will update as news becomes available.
UPDATE:
UPDATE:Lieberman Has Pulled Petitions and will announce he is running as a "Petitioning Democrat" should he lose the primary
I've been informed Lieberman has pulled Petitions and will announce if he loses the primary he will be running as a "petitioning Democrat"
AP story will be out in minutes.
Update
I've spoken with someone close to the Lamont Campaign.They charactorize this as a desperate move by a desperate man that will do anything to hold on to power.
"If beating Joe Lieberman Twice is what it takes to rip his hands from power then thats what we'll do" my source said.
