Joe Lieberman, who would lose if the election was this year, is still a registered Democrat. His wife and daughter aren't.

Daily Kos released a poll this week showing that if the election were held this year, Democrat Ned Lamont would defeat Independent Joe Lieberman by a margin of 48 - 40 with 10% for the Republican.

A friend in Connecticut (who knows these things) tells us that the independent Senator from Connecticut registered as a Democrat when he moved to his new hometown of Stamford. He moved there this past summer from New Haven. However, his wife, Hadassah, and his daughter, Hana, are now registered as unaffiliated so there are some independents in the family. That's according to the voter registrar's records in Stamford anyway.

Let's hope his new best friends, Sean Hannity and Ann Coulter, don't find out Joe's dirty little secret.

UPDATE: Sprinkles has a post at Daily Kos pointing out that Joe was supposed to join another party, but didn't:

This past week Senator Joseph Lieberman had a chance to keep his promise that he made to the Secretary of State that he would join another party.

Of course he continued his deception and he registered once again as a Democrat in his new town of Stamford. In order to get on the ballot last year after losing the Democratic primary to Ned Lamont, Lieberman promised that he would not be running as a Democrat which would violate state law by having two members of the same party running for the same office after the primaries.

He circulated a petition to form a new party in Connecticut called "Connecticut for Lieberman". I challenged him in August 2006 and said he had no intention of joining such a party, that he was going to remain a Democrat and that he was just using this gimmick to keep on running as a stealth Democrat. The new party had no party chair, no rules, no platform, nada.
