Home U.S. World Entertainment Sports Business Health Science Technology Politics Offbeat Environment Travel Update: Joe Lieberman Formally Announces Retirement His announcement, given at the Marriott Hotel where his grandmother's house had once stood, came a day after former Connecticut Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz announced her campaign for his seat. Source: AHN Reporter: Kris Alingod Location: Stamford, CT, United States Published: January 19, 2011 3:27 p.m. EST Topics: Government, Politics, Local Elections, Public Officials, Election Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) formally announced his retirement on Wednesday, earning praise from both Democrats and Republicans in his state. "This was not an easy decision," he said of his bowing out when his term ends in 2013. "But I know it is the right decision and, I must say, I am excited about beginning a new chapter of life with new opportunities." The 65-year-old lawmaker dismissed reports that he was retiring to avoid a difficult re-election campaign. "I have run many difficult campaigns before," he said, citing particularly tough bids he fought in 1970, 1988 and five years ago. "In all three of those elections most observers and pollsters thought I would not win. But with a lot of help from Independents, Democrats and Republicans—including many of you here today—in each case I did win." A former Connecticut Senate majority leader and a state attorney general, Lieberman revealed his decision surrounded by his family. His announcement, given at the Marriott Hotel where his grandmother's house had once stood, came a day after former Connecticut Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz announced her campaign for his seat. Republicans have taken aim at Bysiewicz and warned of a contentious Democratic primary for the seat. But Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee chair Patty Murray assured, "Connecticut is one of the few states in the country that withstood fierce Republican headwinds last cycle. With President Obama at the top of the ticket and a galvanized Democratic electorate, this seat will stay Democratic in 2012.” Lieberman is a four-term senator who became an independent in 2006 after losing the Democratic primary that year because of fallout from his vigorous support for the Bush administration's war in Iraq. In 2008, he earned the ire of Democrats for his work as campaign surrogate for the Republican presidential nominee, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ). He became even more unpopular among progressives after he keynoted the first night of the Republican National Convention despite caucusing with Democrats in the Senate and having been nominated as the Democratic vice presidential candidate in 2000. In spite of his unconventional political life, Lieberman recieved accolades from both Democrats and Republicans in his state. "His 40-year body of work is replete with Democratic successes, the most recent of which was his leadership on the repeal of 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell,' " the state Democratic Party said. "Sen. Lieberman’s steadfast courage in defending the nation’s interests won him many supporters in the Republican Party," said the state GOP. "[He] was a proud liberal... but you always knew where Sen. Lieberman stood and he tried to be bipartisan in the process." Republish Email Facebook Digg Twitter Buzz Up!
