I'm assuming so too... but I don't trust him. He'd been a turncoat too many times in the past, and it sounds like he has a serious grudge over being defeated in the primary.

*sighs for the dream of Senator Lamont*

yeah... one would assume that siding with the party would mean accepting who they picked as their candidate and not throwing a hissy fit and starting your own party.

i was really hoping lamont would win. i pretty much blame the republicans for running a dipshit of a candidate that the party wouldn't even endorse. sigh.

Yeah... that thing where they didn't endorse their own candidate makes me suspicious about what kind of quid pro quo they might have arranged with Lieberman.

I'll be truly surprised if Lieberman is still in the democratic party two years from now. They didn't suddenly run away from Alan Schlesinger for no reason at all; they must've seen some benefit to Lieberman being in the Senate as an independent. I mean I can think of a lot of benefits, but they could promise him plum positions for switching to the GOP or the like. I don't trust him, and he's got every reason to switch to the GOP and not many not to switch.
