I'm betting that Joe Lieberman will screw his Republican backers and caucas with the Democrats. That would mean Joementem would manage to screw both parties this election season.
Connecticut Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman, who was re-elected as an independent after losing his Democratic Party primary, is staying in the fold.
Lieberman said Wednesday that he is “definitely going to organize with the Senate Democratic caucus.”
After talking with Democratic Leader Harry Reid of Nevada on Wednesday morning, Lieberman said he was assured that he would retain his seniority on the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee and be named chairman if Democrats control the chamber.
From the New York Times. This was not a new development, however, as he had been saying all along that he would remain with the Democrats if he was re-elected.
Not much of a bet...
