Chair of CT for LIEberman Party Dies
TRUMBULL, Conn. - John Orman, a professor who seized control of the political party Sen. Joe Lieberman created for the 2006 election, has died in Connecticut. He was 60.

Fairfield University says in a statement Orman died Sunday night, but gave no information on the cause. Orman, of Trumbull, was chairman of the university's Department of Politics.

Lieberman created the Connecticut for Lieberman Party for his successful re-election campaign as an independent, after losing the Democratic primary.

Orman switched his party affiliation from Democrat to Connecticut for Lieberman. He then voted himself chairman.

Orman had said Lieberman's creation of the party was only a ploy to secure a better position on the ballot.

He also said he hoped to keep the party active and endorse a Senate candidate in 2010.
