Paul Newman for Senate?

Paul Newman's name is being floated as a possible challenger to Joe Lieberman, according to Atrios. Atrios is one of the kings of the blogworld, but he doesn't say where his information comes from. For people in Connecticut, it would make for an interesting race, to say the least.

I gave a talk once at the Norwalk Maritime Aquarium, and one of the people on the Aquarium's board of directors had me sign a copy of my book for Newman. Oddly, he never got in touch with me to say whether he liked it.
