No one is more independent then Joe Lieberman. One year, he'll run as former Vice President Al Gore's running mate; another year, he'll throw his support behind John McCain and act like 2000 never happened. The senator from Connecticut is a true maverick but, this election cycle, he's calling it quits.

Today, on "Fox News Sunday," he declared to whoever was listening that he would not get involved in the 2012 election: "I think this year, when it comes to the presidential election, I'm just going to do what most Americans do: go in the voting booth on election day and in the privacy of the booth cast my vote." This will be the last year for Lieberman in office, also; the senator is not seeking re-election after 24 years in office.
