Via Watertiger,
"Senator Joseph I. Lieberman of Connecticut said yesterday that he will caucus with Senate Democrats in the new Congress, but he would not rule out switching to the Republican caucus if he starts to feel uncomfortable among Democrats."
Update:
Josh Marshall:
"But has anyone heard anything from Joe Lieberman ("ID"-CT) about his oversight plans as chair of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee?
With a huge portfolio, Lieberman's committee is positioned to investigate a vast swath of the federal government. But Lieberman's plans remain remarkably vague. For instance, a UPI story today describes at length the oversight plans being made by Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS), who will become chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, but it devotes just one paragraph to Lieberman, confirming that he will serve as committee chairman.
So what does Joe have in store for the Bush Administration that so aggressively backed his re-election?"

Ellroon,
You asked an interesting question: "So what does Joe have in store for the Bush Administration that so aggressively backed his re-election?"
Rather than waiting for the President to show us the hard way, a counter strategy might before the DNC leadership in the senate to offer to one of the disaffected GOP Senators a guaranteed Chairmanship if they jump from the GOP ship first, thereby making the Lieberman-Bush plan irrelevant.
Thanks, but that was Josh Marshall's question. Thanks for the excellent link to your blog. You do extensive research and linkage!
