@abcnews: Former Sen. Joe Lieberman died Wednesday after "complications from a fall," his family announced. He was 82 years old. Lieberman, a political maverick who represented Connecticut, was Al Gore's running mate on the Democratic ticket in 2000. Lieberman became a player on the political scene again in recent years as the founding chair of the No Labels party, which is weighing launching a "unity ticket" in this year's presidential race, though no major candidates have said they plan to join. Lieberman was the first Jewish American on a major party's presidential ticket and was known for his Jewish observance. #news #joelieberman
