JOe Lieberman, this morning, contrary to what even dems who worked on his campaign say, said that he ran as an Independent and "I am going to be VERY Independent" - wouldn't it be a hoot if, in the near future, he flipped to pubbie?
The dems say "Joe doesn't hold a grudge. He's still very democrat." Well, he doens't have to hold a grudge to realize he was betrayed, kicked aside, etc. He also no longer owes them a dang thing. He doesn't have to kow tow to anyone.
Won't happen. He has the second-most liberal voting record in the Senate; in 2004 he was THE most liberal. He may stand against the Dems on principle on a few things here and there, but in his heart, he's a Democrat, and my guess is he'll get all his seniority back plus a plum committee chairmanship in return for coming back into the D fold.
