Lieberman loses and Bush appoints him to a cabinet position.
Kos will go crazy!
Hmm... This scenario isn't that far-fetched. Lamont will win the primary, based on his masterful publicity-snatching. Say Rumsfeld "resigns" and Bush replaces him with a Senator who happens to support the war in Iraq, but is technically a DEMOCRAT. What do the liberals say then? The 2008 dominoes are setting up now.
