Connecticut is a fairly fiscally conservative state, as is Lieberman. It's basically a NYC suburb state where the more conservative city denizens go, hence Connecticut is a more conservative area. But overall it is still a liberal state in most aspects.

There's also other factors, funding, who the opposition is, the mudslinging, the candidate perpetrating to be more liberal/conservative than he truly is and so on. Then once elected incumbants truly have a tremendous advantage. And this is also why you'll see incumbants maybe being more one way when first elected and then as reelection nears they all of a sudden shift back to what their constituency expects ...... to get reelected.
