Why Doesn't LIE*****n Become A republican?

[Dinger]

[tridim]

1. He already is a Republican.

[glen123098]

2. My thinking is that he wants to be part of the majority party so he can have more power.

[randr]

3. He would only be one of so many assholes

Staying with the Dems makes him stick out.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

4. Take away the (I). Replace it with (CW)

He is a malicious Corporate whore.

[MiniMe]

5. He wants to keep his committee chairmanship

[Enrique]

6. he'd lose his chairmanship

I've read he really likes having that chairmanship.

[cynatnite]

7. He'd never be able to keep his seat. n/t

[LuvNewcastle]

8. He can do more damage to

the Democratic Party from right where he sits now.

[emulatorloo]

9. If the Republicans take back the Senate, he will be come a Republican.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

10. Because it's more fun to do this:

[zbdent]

11. He'd lose the "prestige" of appearing constantly on Faux as a "former Democrat"

and he'd end up being "just another Republican" ... not much value on those these days ...

see "I'm an Independent - ignore my blatant cheerleading for Bush for 9 years ..."

[KamaAina]

12. Maybe they don't even want him

:shrug:

[MilesColtrane]

13. Other

He's on his way.

Lieberman goes where the power goes.

He sees the support eroding from Congressional Democrats.

He is immanentizing the eschaton - simultaneously preparing for, and helping along the take over of the Senate by the Republicans next year.

[calico1]

14. Because then he wouldn't be the center of

attention any more.
