I do not see that an independant win by Lieberman will help the Republicans except if there is a swing in other seats and it could help them keep overall control of the house.

In voting however unless he is very upset with the Dems over the Primary race he is still unlikely IMHO to vote with the Republicans on many issues.

It's unfortunate that the GOP couldn't have found a candidate who could have taken advantage of this situation.

It helps the Republicans because he will not be counted as a Democrat in taking over the Senate and therefore the committee chairmanships.

If LIEberman loses it helps the republicans by pointing out just how far left the dem party has moved. They are worried about the signal that loss will send to old line democrats.
