No, Joe, no

So apparently Joseph Lieberman is now a Republican.

I say this because he has now said that if he does not win the Democratic primary in his state, then he will run on the November ballot anyway. Since that would of course split the Democratic vote, thus pretty much ensuring a win for the Republicans, I've decided Lieberman is now a Republican. Of course, that's not really such a huge stretch for him anyway.

His performance in the recent debate with his Democratic opponent was apparently not much to brag about. He was reported to be very Republican-like: started the night on the defensive and came out attacking. By the way Joe, that's the approach of the underdog. Just in case you were wondering.

It's beyond me that he would do this. What a Stunt. Some of the bigwigs in the party have said that they will not support him if he is on the ticket as "an individual."

I don't know what he's thinking. Perhaps he was tired of the Republicans being constantly accused of election year stunts and decided that the Dems should join in the fun and attention.

And to think we actually elected him VP (you know, in the real election count... the one where we elected Al Gore and his running mate, aka Joe Lieberman).

Word has it that Lieberman will win the primary, that it may be closer than he's used to, but it will be a victory for him.

What a shame. Because with stunts like this, I'm really not clear that I want him to be part of the Democratic party representing us all in Washington.
