Election day comes and passes. Dems win in Ohio, Rhode Island, Montana, Pennsylvania, Missouri and Virginia. The new Senate looks to be 51 Democrats. Lieberman switches parties to caucus with the GOP moving it to 50-50 (GOP retains majority counting Cheney's vote)?
If this happens what would it mean for politics?

As an independent he will hold power over both sides. I think he would still remain a moderate and the left wing of the Democratic party would have to give him a prominent committee post to keep him from tipping the balance to the Repubs.

Lieberman's loyalties lay with the country of Israel. I have not have been given something against the country yet I do take offense at a US rep representing yet another u . s .. Lieberman would not have a stable foreign places coverage. He merely cares approximately hurting center East international places that are unfriendly to Israel. different than the middle East, which different area has Lieberman gotten so quite in touch in?

Listen, just because leiberman didnt get the party support for the nomination doesnt mean he's going to act like a baby and switch parties. By all accounts he's a democrat, the only reason he's running independent is because he can afford it and the Dems wouldnt let him run for president. My guess is you would never have to worry about something like that from Joe Lieberman. Sounds like something that you would see from that Barak Obama character.

The White House is funneling money to Lieberman over the Republican candidate. For all intense and purposes, Lieberman already is a Republican.

I'm not so sure about the 1st part of your premise. I think the Reps hold VA, MO & probably MT. I agree that Joe will more likely than not caucus with the Reps. When that happens, a lot of Dems will need very intensive anger management counciling.

Lieberman is now an independant, but he will vote democrat on most issues.
i disagree with liebermans stances on most things, but respect him as a man of integrity.
Votes are what matters, not what party people are in. Although, unfortunately, usually what party you are in, will determine how you vote on most things.

Ok...I am a conservative and even I think that would be wrong. I think (hope) Lieberman has too much integrity to do that.

This would be a crazy situation, but in all honesty I don't think his people back home would like that.
