WASHINGTON - Sen. Joe Lieberman, whose independent re-election bid has rankled Democrats, says he expects a cold shoulder or two from Senate colleagues when he returns to Washington next week.

Lieberman said he is determined to stay his independent course — and is careful to separate personal relations from politics.

"I'm intent on making it business as usual as much as possible, which is to do my job for the people of Connecticut," Lieberman said of his return to Capitol Hill.

"I feel like I've got good personal relations with most of my colleagues, apart from the politics," he said. "We're all pros."

Lieberman did not say whether he would attend the traditional Tuesday luncheon with other Democratic senators. He said the demands of the campaign could limit his Washington schedule, though he stressed he would be in the Senate for key votes and other business.
