My prediction.

 

Primary: Lieberman wins the general election in November, Democrats lose seat in the Senate.

 

Secondary: This turns out to be a Pyrric Victory for the activist wing of the Democratic party. Win the primary, lose the election. Continue establishing reputation as electoral kryptonite.

my prediction:

 

joe will lose the election by a wide margin but end up getting married to hillary clinton. by an apparent miracle (but in fact due to an unknown procedure by a certain south korean scientist), joe lieberman will give birth to a child that will be named Überpolitik.

 

Überpolitik will reach maturity at an accelerated rate in only 6 years, but then disappear to the the island of Ibiza in the mediterranean sea.

 

another 4 years later and Überpolitik will return to the US and star in a reality show, then eventually be elected governer of california.

 

thank you for allowing non-pronouncable avatar to post.

You really think he'll caucus with the Republicans? yelrotflmao.gif

 

When you see the Senate roster, there will be one less person listed there in the "Democrat" column. He won't necessarily always vote with the Republicans, but if he proves that he can jettison the left wing vote and still win, he won't have to pander to that segment of the Democratic base, nor will he necessarily need to abide by any party discipline that the Democrats try to apply to him when it comes time to make votes. I think he'll also realize that his political stock is highest as an independent that both parties will court heavily when it comes time for crucial swing votes, and he'll also probably make all of the Demos who will publically trash him over the course of the next three months prostrate themselves before him when they need his support.

 

Not a member of the Republican caucus, but definitely a less reliable "yea" when the time comes for Harry Reid to count votes.

 

Anyone know the track record for candidates that the Daily Kos and Co endorse in general elections?

Thankfully for the Democrats it doesn't look like there's a candidate on the Republican side that can exploit the situation in this state.

As long as he'll caucus, they don't care at this point.
