Lieberman(R)

[Raebie]

Yeah, I know. Another vanity. But I'm wondering...any chance he might flip?

[zarf]

Joe will be interesting to watch. He will not be in the mood to play ball with anyone. He WILL be independent. He's a changed man and has made more than a few Republican friends this year.

He will surprise.

[screw boll]

Yes... to the Dems...

[Echo Talon]

Depends on who asks him to be their running mate in '08. But, no, probably not.

That is why I was entertaining the thought...

[Raebie]

IBTZ?

Here's another acronym...WTF?

[South40]

Sure there's a chance. There's also a chance nancy pelosi will flip. They're probably very similar.

[Bonaparte]

I can't see Lieberman flipping unless the democrats pass a joint resolution for the destruction of Israel and then a massive appropriations bill earmarked for Al Qu'aida.

[SunStar]

I don't get that either. The republicans helped him get elected. And his fellow dems threw him out of the boat. Why would he vote with them?

Because he is a Democrat, and he is being true to his party, even if the current crop of dummies forced him out to make an anti-war statement. And when he runs for re-election again in six years, I'd bet it will be as a Democrat again.

Cuz he's a hooooooor.

[Asceticon]

It is definitely possible, but I don't think so. If he did though, the 'rats would scream bloody murder. It would be a spectacle for the ages.

[TWfromTEXAS]

Put down the beer and step away from the computer.

[mysterio]

He has stated that there is nothing the Republicans can offer him to get him to switch.

[Soul Seeker]

No, because aside from the Loons convinced themselves of, he's a loyal Liberal Democrat.

But he will be the swing vote in the Congress and at least when it comes to the WOT, that will be a far better development then had Lamont won.

[Raebie]

The entertainment value alone would be a thing to behold.

[kalee]

no

[GVNR]

Boy, would that be sweet!
BUT, remember the old saying about the "snowball in hell"?
Seriously, I would just absolutely LOVE to watch the circus if he DID switch!!

So you think there's a chance.

[John Lenin]

He might, depends on the RAT policy in Iraq.

[RGSpincich]

Botched joke. ;~)

[lesser_satan]

I doubt it, but hopefully we can get him to help us on certain things. I expect massive gridlock in the next couple years, as the Senate can't do much without a 2/3 majority, and some of the incoming Dems in both houses aren't nearly as insane as Pelosi and company. A lot of the repubs that lost were RINOs that weren't always helpful to our cause anyway.

[The_Reader_David]

Not bloody likely, unless Harry Reid turns into an even bigger idiot than he already is and strips him of his seniority. Even then probably not--though he'd be one case where a RINO in the Senate would be a welcomed development.
