Lieberman Looking For A New Team?

We're hearing that some members of the Lieberman braintrust have been quietly canvassing Washington in search of a new campaign team (staff and consultants); Dem campaign history is a must as the Lieberman team doesn't want any GOP consultants helping due to his need to keep the Dems he has already. While it's possible Lieberman can be talked out of the indie run, the person closest to Lieberman who shares his last name (hint hint) is pushing her husband hard to keep running.

We also hear that Sen. Chris Dodd has been tasked by his collegues with trying to convince Lieberman to not mount an independent bid.

They also report that Lamont is awaiting Lieberman's concession call.
