PSoTD explains:
The timing is about right for Democrats to start stating the obvious suspicion: Joe Lieberman will endorse a Republican Candidate for President in 2008. There’s no reason to cede news value to the Republicans for such an “announcement” next year, when some regular drumbeating of this political opportunity for Lieberman can easily reduce it. Democrats shouldn’t be concerned that by doing so now they will appear to be “moderating” the Republican candidates, but should be concerned that a Lieberman announcement of support of the Republican nominee next year will be reacted to by the shallow national media in such a way.In short - the likelihood is too great that Lieberman will support ANY REPUBLICAN NOMINEE FOR PRESIDENT in 2008 over ANY DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE FOR PRESIDENT in 2008 to ignore until it happens. It won’t be about people, but about power, and about Lieberman’s future political opportunities. Rather than act dismayed when it does happen, Democrats should be honest in the news media - and repetitively vocal - about why Joe Lieberman may just do that next year.
Of course Lieberman will endorse a Republican candidate for President, he can do no else.

LITE!? There's no lite involved, he is a republican.
Ah, so nice to see you're back!
It is good to be back. I went into a black hole of vacationing... no news whatsoever...
Very weird.
Only had a few withdrawal symptoms.. like snarking at Bush bumperstickers and cheering Kerry ones. That and twitching fingers searching for my Mouse of Wrath and Indignation....
Sorghum Crow... he loves the wooing that is going on as he stands on the fence. Democrats can't piss him off too much or he leaves in a huff, Republicans promise him things if he votes with them.
If he actually became a Republican, he'd just become another goose-stepping clone. This way he gets treats AND attention...
