Reading the tea leaves on Joe Lieberman

The blogosphere is abuzz about the future of Joementum. Kevin Rennie and Pat Scully were both quick to report that Lieberman will call it quits tomorrow.

The senator's office isn't commenting but here's something that may be significant: The announcement of tomorrow's presser came from the official government email account of Lieberman press aide Erika Masonhall, not from a personal or campaign account. Rules bar staffers from using .gov accounts for political activities and most staffers are pretty careful not to use their work email or phones for campaign-related business. A Senator's reelection plans could violate those rules...but an announcement of his upcoming retirement would not.
