Joe is a liberal. The only areas where he differs with the most radical fringe of the Democratic Party are areas that are important to Israel: national security concerns in the Middle East region, the war in Iraq, and foreign policy regarding Israel and its enemies.
It's remotely possible that with a 50/50 Senate split in late November, there might be the offer of a really tasty committee chairmanship. And Lieberman, as an independent, might choose to caucus with the GOP instead of the Dems.
But it would take a miracle.
Please join me in prayer ...
I would rather the Republicans have a large Senate minority- say 47 or 48- and Snow and Collins and McCain(if he is still there) switched to be Social Democrats. Republicans do their best work when in minority. As a majority they don’t feel they have any principles to prove and they set about the serious business of grabbing as much goodies as they can. As for repealing Obamacare, it won’t happen, even with vetoproof majorities in both houses. The Republicans will never vote to cause government employees to lose their jobs and the Kenyan has been hiring hordes of new bureaucrats to staff the IRS’s new mandates and the Obamacare bureaucracy.
