On July 3, U.S. Senator Joseph Lieberman announced that he will begin circulating a petition to get himself on the ballot this year as an independent candidate. He needs 7,500 valid signatures by August 9. The major party primaries are August 8. Lieberman is also running in the Democratic primary. If he wins the Democratic primary, he will not turn in the signatures. If he loses the primary, he will turn them in.
