Lieberman: Payback Time?
I was watching Scarborough Country on MSNBC and one of the things that came up was the issue with Joe Lieberman most likely being bitter because of the fact that he probably feels that the Democrats left him behind to support Lamont. Now that Lieberman has won over Lamont, could it be possible in anyone's eyes that he might become a turncoat and consider becoming a republican. It was stated on SC that he had more votes from republicans than independents, so I am wondering what anyone thinks of this because he could tip the balance when it comes to the power in the Senate.

If Lieberman sided with the republicans, then the senate would be evenly split with the vp breaking any ties, but if he sided with the democrats, then he would be on the side with the majority in congress. I think he could play it both ways depending on the issue, and on what he might want from other senators. After all he did run as an independent.
