Surprising No One, Joe Lieberman Gives up Presidential Bid

After finally realizing what everyone else has known since before the Iowa caucases, Connecticut Senator and former Vice-Presidential candidate Joe Lieberman today announced he will not continue to seek the Democratic presidential nomination. Lieberman was widely considered the most moderate of all the Democratic hopefuls, a message that played well in the 2000 election with Al Gore but may no longer be timely in George Bush's more politicized 2004 America. Lieberman's poor showing may be more reflective of the politics of the Democratic faithful than of Americans at large, however. It remains to be seen whether a more progressive Democratic candidate can carry a sharply divided American public in November.
