Holy Joe and the GOP

Will Lieberman rule out a Republican run?

Would Joe Lieberman run as a Republican if he lost the August 8th primary to Ned Lamont? How can we even be asking this question?

Steve Gilliard doesn't mince words:
Holy shit on a stick. Lieberman is swearing what a Dem he his, how he's being tossed out of the party.

Now, Lieberman knowss this would harm the Dems beyond belief if he did this. He would be basically betraying most of what he stood for, or claimed to, for his ego. It's all about staying in Washington.


Even though he would have to attack his former collegues. Ok, Sen. Pryor, Salazaar, gonna back him now? Senator Boxer?

If this is a scare tactic, it's a shitty one. If he's serious, his ego is larger than a novelist's. Either way, I think he should be hammered like a drum.

The fear is deep in Lieberman and it reeks.

I'm no fan of Joe, but this story was dead before you published.

See Here

As it stands, Joe is still remain the front runner for the general election, even in a 3-way race. If he does, it will be a test for the Democrats as to whether they value party loyalty over incumbency. Republicans had no qualms about kicking Jim Jeffords to the curb when he became an independent. Will we do the same?

The late Senator Strom Thurmond, a very controversial figure, did conservatives a favor when he became a Republican. It allowed southern conservatives to vote Republican. Senator Strom contributed to changes in both parties for good or ill.
Joe, you would really be more comfortable as a Republican. Liberal CT Democrats are very uncomfortable with you. Go & take Bill Casey with you.
