The election will be held this November, and he will probably win. I am sure he will caucus with the Democrats, but they will have less influence over him after they have tossed him asside.

He didn't win it on what he stands for, but what he doesn't. It reminds me a lot of Howard Dean's aborted run, when it comes down to it. I'm not convinced that if Joe wins he won't become the "Independant Democrat" from Connecticut. I'm sure, should he win the election, that the powers that sit on the left side of the aisle in the Senate will again embrace him as quickly as possible. Especially if the "seat count" gets closer this time around. I have a lot of respect for Joe Lieberman. He believes strongly in what he campaigns on. But he did lose and election and the proper thing to do at this point is to bow out gracefully and maybe start planning in two years to run in another state slightly less populated with moonbats.
