In the world of politics, largely centrist voices no longer seem to exist, and America lost one of the last of what may be a dying breed today, as reported by several outlets, including Politico, just a few minutes ago. 

Best known as Al Gore's running mate in the 2000 presidential election, Lieberman entered politics in 1989 as a Democrat.

After losing a primary in 2004, he reemerged as an Independent and won re-election. He endorsed John McCain 2008 and was the driving force behind the recently founded no-labels movement.
