Big Ol' Smitty Posted November 6, 2006 Report Posted November 6, 2006 If the Senate is 50 Rs and 49 Ds (including Sanders) after the election Tuesday, Lieberman will be absolutely insufferable (as will Cheney).
SuperJerk Posted November 6, 2006 Report Posted November 6, 2006 I don't see why he would. If they didn't want him and he doesn't need them........ They need each other. The Democrats need him so they can save face with the public and in terms of raw numbers. Lieberman needs them because a senator is only as powerful as his party allows him to be, in terms of chairmanships, committee seniority, and cooperation on the liberal issues he supports. Without a party backing him, he's got nothing.
Dr. Zaius Posted November 6, 2006 Report Posted November 6, 2006 I'm sure the GOP will be promising him porkbarrel spending $$$, chairmenships, and Taiwanese hookers to join their side.
