Lieberman's Independent Strategy
I really don't hear much from the media about what the tactics are behind Joe Lieberman's "independent" strategy, if he needs and so chooses to use it.

Obviously, if he loses tonight and runs in November as an independent, he is banking on being able to pull Lamont back into a one-on-one runoff. His thinking would be that he would be able to not only pull his faithful Dems, but Republicans who would rather have HIS vote than Ned Lamont's!

Scary thing is.....it might actually work!

7. Nope it wont
The fight is over.
He will just make himself suffer through a worst defest.

If he goes now at least he goes with pride
If he runs as Independent he get buried.

Better he declare he switch camp then to run as Independent.
