There's an attempted putsch going on in the party Joe Lieberman created to run as an independent after losing the Democratic Party primary (article found via AMERICAblog - http://americablog.blogspot.com/2006/11/joe-liebermans-party-of-one-is
-taken.html ).

With Connecticut for Lieberman having achieved its victory earlier this month, Orman made his move. He contacted the secretary of the state, learned the new minor party had no registered members, then visited the registrar in Trumbull, where he lives, to switch from a Democrat to a Connecticut for Lieberman-ite.
"Then I went home and called a meeting of all registered Connecticut for Lieberman members to reflect on our party's victory in the U.S. Senate race (and) organize and submit rules to the secretary of the state," Orman said.
He nominated himself chairman, seconded the nomination, cast his vote for himself and proceeded to establish party rules.
Orman said the "party" is upset that Lieberman has abandoned it and says he is an "Independent Democrat."

Pretty hilarious, if you ask me.
