Lieberman is just hurting himself. He ran on a party ticket. He lost. He should accept that.

Running as an Independent is sour grapes.

Conjecture is that, if he did win, he would caucus with the Dems. Isn't that a tad hypocritical, since the Dems were the ones who voted him out?

Come on, Joe, show grace and accept your loss, not sour grapes.

Agreed. If a pubbie did what Joe's about to do, we would be p*ssed. This is about Joe now, not about his party.

"Come on, Joe, show grace and accept your loss, not sour grapes."

Are you kidding? We want ole Joe to hang on in there as long as possible. This is the best scenario for Republicans. In a three way race, we finally have a shot to win that Senate seat. Also the Democrats will have to pump money there to defend a blue state that they would have put into a swing state. Let us count our blessings here.

Nahh, running on an independent ticket is revenge.

Joe was never the man that a lot of Republicans thought that he was.

Other than his run as VP Joe Lieberman has been pretty straight forward. He is a liberal democrat on all but Israel. In the end Joe will always be a democrat. He will caucus with the dems.

Come on, Joe, show grace and accept your loss, not sour grapes. Funny how the Democrats like Gore and Kerry could never accept their losses with style and grace. They are both creeps. However, as an independent, I welcome Joe Lieberman to run as an independent in Connecticut. He will win because independents look at both sides of the issue and vote for the "man" or "woman" who best represents their own viewpoints, e.g. I vote for a candidate who loves the traditional way of life in America. Joe shares my viewpoint that Americans should protect themselves from the enemies (aka terrorists) outside and inside America.

He should win as an Independent as there are more registered independents in Conn than Republicans, and the two combined outnumber Dem voters.

How he could stomach caucusing with the Dem Senators who tried to throw him overboard is another question.

Then you don't agree with the people here who often say when a "true conservative" loses to a RINO in the primary, he should continue to run (as an idependent, write-in, or whatever). There have been several cases I have seen where the "true conservative" continues to run and brings down both him and the RINO and lets the Demoncrat get in. You would say to the "true conservative" that he/she should accept the primary vote and accept his/her loss and step down. Right?

There is no grace in turning over a Senate seat to a lunatic. This is not about politics but National Security.
How many times have we criticized the Party of Treason for putting party about Nation? Now Lieberman is doing the opposite and you complain?
