As if Lamont won't be even more liberal with the added distinction of being anti-defense. Use your head, it's either the pro-defense Lieberman or the anti-defense Lamont. Choose wisely.

I can't vote there anyway! Like Rush says:"A tiger is a tiger" and "a liberal is a liberal"!!

It's like saying "my wife i just a little bit pregnant"!!!

Apart for Joe's stand on Homeland Security, he still is a liberal turncoat!??!

"liberal turncoat"

Is that your point? So if a politician other than Lieberman leaves the Democrats to officially join the Republicans, he would then also be a "turncoat" ??!!?? I'm at a loss to understand your and the other anti-Lieberman posters positions. If he does not run in November as an independent, Lamont will certainly win. Let me repeat: THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE HAS NO CHANCE!!!! Why in the world would you want a peacenik liberal like Lamont to win? Answer me that please.

I predict Lieberman will win, and announce a party change to the GOP the day the new Congress is sworn in.

Yes, he could win, but a party change is highly unlikely. He had the last year or two to switch parties, with many Republicans saying good things about him and people in his own party showing contempt. But he hasn't availed himself of the opportunity until now, which probably signals that he's not going to do so at all.

Turncoat??? Remember in 2000 when gore picked loserman as vp candidate, he left all his previous religious beliefs at home and cozy-ing very much up to the hollywood left crowd???

Life is many times a choice between bad and worse. I disagree with Joe Lieberman on just about every domestic issue you can think of. But in the war on Islamo-fascism, Joe gets it. Lamont is a Neville Chamberlain-style appeaser. So therefor it is no choice. We must support Lieberman.
