Well considering that he’s an Independent Democrat-in-name-only, this would just mean the circle is now complete. The turncoat would make the race quite interesting though. Think about Huckabee and Rick Santorum up there at a debate. (Think Progress):
In an interview, Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) joked that he could potentially run as a Republican…
–Some Democrats might not find Lieberman’s joke very funny. After Lieberman bucked his party and supported Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) for president – even delivering a speech at the Republican National Convention – some of his Senate colleagues wanted him to be punished, with some suggesting that he should lose his chairmanship of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. Instead, they let him off with slap on the wrist.
I wonder what kind slogan Lieberman would want to put out there. Could you think up something snappy for him?

How ’boutJoe the Former Senator (as in Joe the Plumber, etc.)
How About Flip-flopping for your tax dollars.
He won’t winThere is no way he will get enough independents to win in the general election.
This is a ridiculous threat.
JoementumNow going in the opposite direction.
he could potentially run as a RepublicanThe only reason he’s in the Senate now is Karl Rove, who made a point of supporting Lieberman in ’06 at the explicit expense of the GOP candidate.
