CT: Lieberman Hints He Might Support Third Party Candidate in US Senate Race

The first and last lines from an article in Politico, speculating whether US Senator Joe Lieberman (I) would support the Democrat or Republican candidate in his home state's US Senate race this year:

Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) said Thursday he's open to supporting Republican Linda McMahon over Democrat Richard Blumenthal in the Connecticut Senate race, a move that would once again infuriate Democrats in his home state and in Washington . . .

Lieberman also noted he could support a third party candidate in the Senate race as well.

Politics1 lists four third party candidates in the race. Among them is John Mertens, who is running on Lieberman's independent ballot line:

John Mertens (CFL) - College Professor, Mechanical Engineer & Progressive Activist
Harold Burbank (Green) - Attorney, Peace Activist & '08 Congressional Nominee
Ralph Nader (Green) - Consumer Advocate, Attorney & Frequenty Presidential Candidate
Warren Mosler (Independent Party) - Financial Executive & Economist
