First of all, Joe Lieberman is NOT from Masssachusetts. He is from Connecticut. I don't know who the Independent Party candidate in Massachusetts was.
Joe did not run as an independent. He formed his own political party using his own name. He collected close to 20,000 signature as the first step in forming his political party. (Proving it can be done). It sure was nice of the Republicans to switch and not put a Democrat into office.
I suggest you google Joe Lieberman, 2006 election ballot.If I am not mistaken there were 4 or 5 different parties in Ct.
So far as I know, one has to run under a party label and follow the rules for parties. In every state the party is labeled on the ballot.
