1. No point if the democrats still hold the majority after the fact
He was given a committee chairmanship to caucus democrat. He would lose that unless 4 others jumped with him to get the GOP to 51.

If self-interest is the presumed motive for his actions then expect him to stay put.

3. He would turn instantly into a repug
if he could and be in a repug majority....he essentially is one but his narcissistic ass wants a Chairman seat.

2. Interesting thought (to me at least)
McMahon may run again in 2012. She felt she ran against a stronger opponent (Blumenthal) and believes if she runs against LIEberman he will have a harder time siphoning off Republican votes.
I read in a few places if she got at least 45% of the GE vote she would consider it.
Don't know if she will -- But LIEberman jumping to the republicans may have ended with her
