Lieberman open to running as a GOPer in 2012



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

It's good to be Joe Lieberman. He campaigned against Barack Obama, even speaking at the Republican convention, yet Barack Obama wanted to keep him in the Democratic caucus. He single-handedly weakened and tried to undermine the Senate health care bill, but gets thanked by the President. If he runs as a Republican, the Democrats will probably make him Majority Leader (assuming the Democrats still control the Senate in 2012.) And, Lieberman as the GOP candidate is a possibility:

Lieberman said he wasn't sure which party, if any, he would represent in his next election.

"I like being an independent, so that's definitely a possibility," the Connecticut senator said. "But I'd say all options are open."

He called running as a Republican "unlikely" but added that he wouldn't "foreclose any possibility."
