If Lieberman DID resign, what would they name the party? The "Connecticut erstwhile for Lieberman" party?

That's the beauty of it. They'd be able to run an anti-Lieberman candidate against Lieberman AND use his name to do so.

This sounds like the way the Cult Awareness Network was sued into bankruptcy and taken over, so the organization that was founded to warn against the nefarious behavior of religious cults is now run by Scientologists. FYI: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cult_Awareness_Network
