"Senator Lieberman needs to decide whether he wants to remain affiliated with the DNC, form his own Independent Caucus, or switch his party designation to the GOP.
Lieberman appears to be disingenuous with his assertion that he leaves the option open whether he might join the GOP. Let’s take him at his word, and plan for the possibility that he may switch parties, and shift the DNC/Independent-GOP senate balance from 51-49 to 50-50; because the GOP controls the Senate President’s position, the GOP would take control of the Senate.
Conversely, if after the GOP took control of the Committee Chairmanship positions, a GOP Senator then defected, and reversed again, this would be a waste of time. The key is to have the potential GOP-defections ready, and induce them to leave before Lieberman jumps.
The message for the GOP and DNC leadership should be clear: If they would like to face the risk that once candidate may switch parties; there’s an equal chance that another candidate may shift back the other way. If the DNC-RNC leadership is comfortable with this highly unstable situation, that is their thin ice to tread."
