Connecticut attorney general eyes Lieberman challenge

[Are_grits_groceries]

Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, who announced Monday he will seek a sixth term, is mulling a challenge against Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) in 2012.

Multiple Connecticut Democrats, speaking on condition of anonymity, say Blumenthal has begun informing influential members of the state's political class that he will prepare for a run against Lieberman.

Should Blumenthal run against Lieberman, it would set up a clash between two well-known Connecticut politicians. “He's probably the most popular Democrat in the state,” said Quinnipiac University pollster Douglas Schwartz.

Blumenthal's candidacy would also provide an outlet for Democrats who still harbor ill will toward Lieberman after he supported the war in Iraq and backed Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in the 2008 presidential contest.
