Again with this misconception.
Joe is STILL a US Senator.
He lost a preselection vote in his party and cannot run on the Democratic ticket.
But until the Senatorial elections he is still a United States Senator and if he wins as an independent he will continue to serve the people as a United States Senator.
Jeez some people really need to learn how elections in their own country work.
What does your reply even mean? Are you saying since joe is a senater he has no other interests in the world? If I had a nickle for everytime my representitive supported an inititive that I didn't like, I'd be rich. You probably need to research how politics are really played. Cronism, kick-backs, special interest groups, constintuencies, etc... AAC
JOE IS STILL A UNITED STATES SENATOR today, just was he was last week, last month, last year and last decade.

How bout this for a Maverick 3rd Party Presidential ticket in 2008?
MCAIN / LIEBERMAN OR LIEBERMAN / GIULIANI.
Do not count Joe out. He is a rare breed - an honest politician who votes his conscious.

And has Israel and the Bush Agenda as his top priority. A rare breed indeed, who will eventually go down with the ship he is sailing.

Seriously, after all the hoopla of Joe losing the primary, is there anyone who still thinks Lieberman will not be re-elected for Senate...as an Independent?

For that to happen, Republicans would have to vote for him over their own party's candidate. Why do you think they would do that?

Look at the recent polls. The Republican sacrificial lamb has dropped from 16%, before the Democratic Primary to 3%. Republicans know he has no chance. So why not back Lieberman as an Independent? Democrats lose a long held seat in the Senate, almost securing the Senate majority for Republicans!

If that is the case he will probably split the independent and the republican vote down the middle. Democrats win by default. Sorry.
