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

Ben Nelson from NE would be the only one I can think of as he votes with the Republicans more then the DemocRATs.

Not even Majority Leader? (I don't think it will happen either.)

Are we talking about the same rabid, liberal senator that ran on a ticket with Al Gore? Lieberman is a die-hard LIB/RAT/BA$TARD that happened to "get it" concerning the war. Nothing else. Why the he11 would we want him in the GOP? I don't even want the RINO's and am glad that Dewine/Chaffee are gone and the rest will fall soon. We need to start differentiating between a Republican and a CONSERVATIVE. The blurring of the lines is what "We The People" just sent packing with hat in hand.

IMO, of course.

Run. From now on Lieberman can coast through any election.

He's untouchable.

Why even mount a campaign against him. If you beat him in the primary. So what. He'll run and as he has proven, still win.

Admitting to a problem is the first step.

Lissen - Lieberman is a lib. He is now a majority maker. He will caucus with the Dems to get committee assignments.

Politics 101.

Thank me

I think he should. He owes us one but he won't.

What is more likely is that Bush would appoint Lieberman to some cabinet position, thus allowing the Republican governor to appoint a replacement. I'm surprised that Joe is not the new SOD.

He should run for majority leader with an unspoken implication that he would flip if he didn't get it. The Dems have some appeasement to do re: Joe.

"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."

No he won't. Not according to a radio interview I heard with him earlier this week here in CT. He said he was a Democrat.

"So you think there's a chance."

none. Not even 1%. Read my previous post. He was adamant.

I was thinking those exact words...stranger things have happened. I wouldn't bet on it, but it would be sweet justice.

No DINO senators will switch to repub that I know of. I'm sure Lieberman will be more independent minded than before, but with dems in charge, he will probably vote with them most of the time to keep his issues from getting flushed.

Good evening.

No. Loserman is a DemocRAT and he will caucus with them, no matter what party he is claiming to be part of.

I see why you posted the thread; you were just thinking out loud, brainstorming a way to pick up a seat. Keep your head up.

He's going to be completely beholden to the Democrats in Washington, despite their treachery against him and despite the fact that he owes his victory entirely to GOP voters.

He can't keep his seniority in the U.S. Senate unless he caucuses with the Democrats -- and without his seniority he's completely useless to Connecticut.

I take it you are not familiar with his voting record outside of the war effort. In 2005, only a few scored lower in voting with conservative values. In 2004, he scored as low as Ted Kennedy, 0 out of 100.
