During the 2008 presidential campaign, Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) supported Republican John McCain and attacked then-candidate Obama while speaking at the Republican National Committee. Though he currently caucuses with Democrats in the Senate, Lieberman has repeatedly stated that he views running for re-election in 2012 as an option.

In an interview on Connecticut’s Face The State program this weekend, Lieberman once again said that it was “possible” he could run for re-election as a Republican. Noting that “it would be harder, to be honest, to get the nomination in the Democratic party,” Lieberman said that while he is “most likely” to remain an independent, he could see himself as a Republican:

HOST: Could you see yourself being a Republican or is that…

LIEBERMAN: It’s possible.

HOST:…far-fetched.

LIEBERMAN: Yeah, yeah. No, it’s possible. A good old-fashioned New England moderate Republican.

2. Delete everything from "good" to "moderate" and you'll be much more accurate.

10. Glad it's that easy for him to change allegiances.
The guy isn't a Democrat and he also isn't a Republican. He really is only in it for himself.

19. In 2013 you might be a Moderate Republican, but you will NOT be a US senator from anymore. Your
backstabbing of the DNC will not be forgotten, and dont count on the farright wingnuts to help you either. They are going to put another nutcase on the ticket. Start writing your book "how I backstabbed my own party". You are done.

Hey Joe, since you're an old fashioned New England style politician, when are you going to hold one of those old fashioned town hall events???

I've been waiting years to have a little face time with ya but you never seen to be in the area.

25. Now that a 60 vote majority
is off the table, Holy Joe has lost quite a bit of leverage. He's loved by Republicans and hated by Democrats and votes against all substantial Democratic proposals. He already is a Republican disguised as a Democrat because it gives him the power to hold the Democratic Party and the nation hostage.
Since he no longer provides the 60th vote, it's time to pink slip Joe, and move his Senate office to a broom closet.
