Face The Nation host Bob Scheiffer, claimed he has sources saying the same thing. From the transcript.

If the rumors turn out to be true and Lieberman accepted the position Gov. Jodi Rell would have a chance to appoint a senator to fill his seat.  It would also boost the Presidents approval for reaching across the aisle.

I would love to replace Lieberman with Richard Blumenthal in the Senate. It would definitely strengthen the Democratic caucus.

If he accepts the appointment Gov. Rell would obviously appoint a Republican.  Someone like Rep. Nancy Johnson.  A liberal/moderate Republican like Chafee who could hold the seat.

who would rell pick as his replacement?  chris shays?

Or Rep. Nancy Johnson.  A liberal Republican who could hold the seat in '06 would be ideal for the Republicans.
