Lieberman May Finally Get that “R” After His Name

Because he wants it oh so bad:

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.”

“I’ve reached the stage in my career where I’m not measuring every step I take based on how it’s going to affect the next election,” Lieberman said. “I think if you do that, you end up compromising the quality of your service.”

I would posit that there’s a difference between basing your decisions on what will get you re-elected and doing the exact opposite of what the people who elected you want, but hey, what do I know?
