Lieberman Getting Ready to Make the Switch Official?

Joe Lieberman (McCainiac-Conn.) told Glen Beck's radio show that he fears a Democratic super-majority.

Lieberman was asked on the Glenn Beck radio show whether he agreed with GOP Sen. Orrin Hatch (Utah) that “if we don’t at least have the firewall of the filibuster in the Senate, that in many ways America will not survive.”
“Well, I hope it’s not like that, but I fear,” Lieberman responded.
Hatch, in an earlier appearance on Fox News, had said: “If we don’t have the right to utilize that filibuster rule and force the Democrats to have to get 60 votes, you’re going to get some of the worst legislation in the history of the country.”
Lieberman touted the filibuster rule.
“[I]t was really put there, a 60-vote requirement, as somebody said to me when I first came to the Senate, to stop the passions of a moment among the people of America from sweeping across the Congress, the House, to the Senate and to a likeminded president and having us do things that will change America for a long time,” Lieberman said. “So the filibuster is one of the great protections we have.”

With the Democrats picking up at least four senate seats, Lieberman will no longer have the pivotal role he's played for the past two years. Does that make it more or less likely that he'll switch teams?

My guess:

What do you think?

3 Put down the crack pipe Gabe.

Ain't no fucking way. He may change teams, but Sarah wouldn't touch him on her ticket.

We can do better than getting a retreaded Democrat. We'll win when we get a true conservative ticket.

5 I think Lieberman has lost a lot of the trust of the people on both sides of the fence AND I do not think you will see Palin in any major position again after the trouncing tonight. Sure she will still be in the public eye BUT she clearly is a nut case who did not help McCain at all. Ultimately her inexperience being one heartbeat from the oval office and her nutty views on abortion, dinasaurs and everything else hurt the Red Party.

8 How many times do I have to say it?

41 seats is a false measure. Democrats have said they'll use the nuclear option anytime they want.

59 seats 60 seats. It does not matter.

The bond of partisanship means that on the issues you don't really care about, or only have a weak support for, you side with your party because they generally support you on the issues that you really do care for.

Lieberman will lose this bond, so from here on out, we can count on him about half of the time for support. This will usually be on the national security front, or on the more egregious pure Democratic powerplay moves, like Fairness Doctrine or card check.

At this point, we shouldn't exactly weaken conservatism by calling him a conservative, but we should welcome him when he can in good faith vote with us, and not push him away like his former party has.

Beggars can't be choosers.

14 What do I think?

I think I'd rather waste my vote for the next libertarian nutbag, than have Lieberman as one of my standard-bearers.

Now if you'll excuse me... I'll be in the bar.
