I would disagree with you that "he is history" and "voters spoke, and didn't want him to represent them any more". This is not true. He is still running as an Independent, much as people may not like it. He will no doubt get a lot of financial support from the Republicans, more than they will give the Repub candidate I am sure. The possible outcomes of this are many; on the one hand if Lieberman goes negative and goes negative hard and then Lamont counters with equally negative ads, the election could possibly swing in favor of the Republican candidate who, if he stays out of the fighting and just "works to improve our country" etc. might seem the better choice for middle of the road voters. The other possibility is that the Republican voting base abandons their nominee altogether and votes for Lieberman. Then he can still pick up fence-sitting votes as well as.. I would say maybe 25% of the Democrat vote as well.

So I don't think it is fair to say he is history.

Nor is it fair to say the voters don't want him in office. The people who voted yesterday were 50% of less than half of the voters in the state. While it is clear the Democrats do not want him, we will have to wait until November to see what the voters think.

For what it's worth though, most people should see him for what he is, a sore loser.
