Any Chance of a Connecticut Recall of Lieberman?

I was wondering if progressives in Connecticut are mounting any kind of recall of Lieberman. In California, Grey Davis was recalled for far less than Lieberman's actions. Holding Dems hostage to his power (I'll give the GOP control of the Senate if you don't do what I say). Is this what voters in Connecticut wanted and expected from him? A recall will set up another election and Lamont can run again against any Repub and surely would win.

3. You'll have to find a rich, stupid idiot like Daryl Issa

who wants to throw away millions of dollars of his own money to get rid of him. Many folks outside of California don't know how the recall started. With one stupid congressman who couldn't stand the fact that the Democrats had won the governorship, Daryl Issa bankrolled the whole thing. Then the Repukes decided that he (Issa) didn't have the name recognition to win and they drafted Arnold. There was really no basis to get rid of Grey Davis, but a lot of Democrats who weren't paying attention bought the BS from the Republicans and voted for Arnold. Disgusting!

4. Lieberman holds a federal office regulated by the US Constitution

The US Constitution does not allow for any kind of recall. Therefore, it is not possible to recall Lieberman.
