Interesting news about The Democratic Party's former Vice-Presidential candidate..

Sen. Joe Lieberman, facing a challenge from within the Democratic Party for renomination, said Monday he has not ruled out seeking a fourth term as an independent.

"I have not foreclosed the option," Lieberman said at a news conference at the Connecticut state Capitol. "If I wanted to run as an independent, I would. I'm running as a Democrat. I've been a Democrat all my life."

Ned Lamont, a Democratic activist and anti-war candidate from Greenwich, is challenging Lieberman for the party's nomination this year. He has been garnering support from some Connecticut Democrats dissatisfied with Lieberman's support of the war in Iraq and his perceived closeness with President Bush's administration.

The party will endorse a candidate at a convention on May 20.

One of the few Democrats (if not the only one) that's tough on terror, and members of his own party, who nearly elected him Vice-President back in 2000, are trying to push him out.
