I’m torn on this one. Lieberman’s support for ObamaCare and partial birth abortion are abominable. At the same time, if he were to become a Republican, it would have enormous propoganda value.
He could switch, but he’d never win the primary. The Democrats allegedly hate him, despite the fact he votes with them, what, 90% of the time ? I mean, what does Hamlet of the Potomac truly offer us beyond a couple of votes ? I’ve never trusted him (sure, he’s better than Lowell Weicker, but that’s only because Weicker was a traitorous weasel infesting the GOP caucus).
Joe cannot get the DEM nomination, and can only get the GOP nomination if something odd happened and nobody wanted. Which ain’t gonna happen. Simmons and McMahon both are still in campaign mode.
And in a 3-way race, the DEM wins easy. Cuz the INDY voters are the base in CT for any GOP candidate and Joe would ciphon them off. The DEM frontrunner is Congressman Chris Murphy D-5. A true-believer progressive scum=bag.
No conservatives that I know would want anything to do with Lieberman and he would finish 3rd in the 3-way. ( 42 to 34 to 24 )
Well it would have propaganda value but I don’t know about ‘enormous’.
Don’t want him, can’t support him.
