As the election comes closer and closer, Joe Lieberman will just have to hold his breath and see how his course of actions (by this I mean his endorsement of a Republican candidate, although he is "independent" democrat) and sticking to his beliefs, (though laudable) will effect him politically. Yes, he has definately suffered blows from the left, but if we see a Republican victory on November 4th, Lieberman will be seen in history books as a strong political leader who stuck to his beliefs. If we see a Democratic Victory for America on November 4th, then in the words of Borat, will Lieberman's decision be seen favoribly... "not so much". This could play out similar to Giuliani's Florida Strategy by being either genius, or an unmitigated disaster. All Lieberman has to do is wait.
Concerning Lieberman's Party affiliation
two differing opinions display what fellow politicians think of Lieberman, as he is thrown in a human tug-of-war match.
On the democratic side:
On the democratic side, Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts, the 2004 Democratic presidential candidate, "was asked point blank if he wanted Lieberman in the Democratic caucus. "I want him to be a Democrat. You bet," Kerry replied." according to NBC's "Meet the Press"
On the Republican side:
Senator John Ensign of Nevada, the head of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, said "I will say that if Joe wants to leave the Democrat Party and join us, we'd welcome him with open arms." when Schieffer posed a similar question.
There are about 25 hours until November 4th
on the side, I have posted a very compelling video which encourages the youth population to vote.
