Do You think Joe Lieberman will jump to the Republican Party? I think it's a good possibility,He seems a bit too Right for the current Democratic Party. I respect Joe and would welcome Him into the Republican Party!

Senator Lieberman is happy where he is. If you get a chance to really listen to him he does not like the politics of today where you must stay along "party" lines. Although I personally disagree with him on certain issues, I respect the fact that he looks to break boundaries within both parties. As a republican I would welcome him as one but as a Democrat he does the political process a great service.

I think he would do well as a liberal republican. He would be able to retain a majority of his democratic base and gain new republican voters. I also believe that if Lieberman would of had another week - he would of beat Lamont. He only lost by 4 points.
Better yet maybe he should start his own party - since the democrats have exiled him!

i think he single hand-idly cost al gore the presidency in 2000, if you don't count the florida debacle... the guy hugs bush at the state of the union, c'mon... once a scumbag traitor always a scumbag traitor. he raises all this money from democratic contributors and is going to then jump to the republican party? i'll lose what little respect i have for him and his pathetic views on the war.

He already announced his intent to run as an independent in the mid-terms, and many Republicans will support him. I don't respect him at all, he's a sore loser who tried to blame Lamont for his website going down when it was caused by too many people trying to get on his site at once, and his cheapo $15 ISP server couldn't handle it. He should accept the fact that he lost gracefully instead of his attitude of winning at all cost. That is a career politician - looking out for himself instead of respecting the decision of the voters in CT.

Joe will be working for Bush in some form if he loses in November. Ambassador, Cabinet post, something say what you will about them but they are a loyal bunch. You won't see Joe panhandling but you could see him on FOX before the year is out as another ace political analyst.

No way, he is much too liberal for the Republican party. He is a moderate democrat.

Yes I'll bet money that he will be speaking at the next republican convention, or he will be offered the job of Secretary of State if Rumsfeld is ever fired.

No, he won't. His main function right now is to split the Democratic party. I doubt Bush would let him - he's too effective right where he is.

I respect him his views are a little too left of center for me to really get behind him as a candidate though.
