Furthermore, he will announce his intention to stay in the primary, but bolt the party if he loses.
No surprise to many of us. Joe is desperate to cling to power and the voters of his own Party be damned.
UPDATE:
Confirmation from the Courant.

She said that if Lieberman loses the primary, Senator Dodd will decide then. For now, he will NOT pledge to support the winner of the Democratic primary.
Chris Dodd will not pledge to support the winner of the Democratic primary.
Completely factual and concise.
Evidently Joe is not the only out-of-touch CT-Sen around...
By the way, that Courant link sends you to some home travel agency site.

This is a Senator who places his self interest ahead of the folks of the state and his party...good riddance !!!!!
Therefore, the Democratic party should IMMEDIATELY withdraw all support for Lieberman. Party headquarters offices should no longer display his signs; he should not longer be included on call scripts or in Democratic literature.
Joe Lieberman is disloyal, dishonest, and a disgrace.
Lieberman BAILS The Democratic Party. At 1PM on July 3, 2006 Joe Lieberman announced that he, the endorsed Democrat in the CT Primary, was petitioning to run as an Independent in the CT General Election. Joe's decision to bail out of the Democratic party is based on his internal polling that shows that he can not win the primary against Ned Lamont. Take action!Call everyone you know and tell them that Joe thinks it's his seat, not the people of CTs. Call anyone you know and have them donate to Lamont. Call people you know that have donated to Joe and ask them if they gave it to Joe or did they give to a Democrat, and if they say "Democrat", have them ask for their money back; they were lied to! Joe has left the Democratic Party. For the record, there is no such thing as an "independent Democrat". That's the reason that parties have primaries, to elect their representative. Joe's independent Democrat will join Bush's compasionate conservative (it's amazing how much Joe and George sound like one another, if we hadn't seen them together for "the kiss" one would have to wonder if they don't just morph from one to the other... but it's nice to see that Rove can pull both their strings equally well) as another bold faced lie used to trick the voting public. Sort of like the term "upstanding whore".

"While Connecticut law prohibits major or minor party candidates for a particular office from appearing on the ballot as a petitioning candidate for that office, it allows them to appear on the ballot as the nominee of two or more major or minor parties for the same office."
In other words, Does this mean that once Lieberman's petitions are certified, Lieberman must be removed from the Democratic line on the ballot? Including the primary ballot, since he would be considered a "petitioning" candidate for the office?
eh?
