I personally have made NO predictions during this election. That changes as of this thread.

[matcom]

Lieberman jumps ship on day 2 of a Dem presidency.

I'm going out on a limb here I know but I predict you can take it to the bank. :D

[maddiejoan]

1. and I predict

a sunrise tomorrow!

[matcom]

4. now THAT is a daring prediction!

:D

[Hydra]

11. It is!

Bush could have us all nuked by then :evilgrin:

[Vincardog]

2. Good riddance to bad rubbish. HEy LIEberman don't let the door hit ya

where the good lord split ya

[Warpy]

3. I'm not making any predictions until I see the

campaign organization the nominee has.

If it's the same dismal faces who blew the Gore and Kerry campaigns, my only prediction will be that the election will once again be close enough to steal. Whether or not the GOP wants to steal it remains the only question. My guess is that they'd rather have a Democrat to blame for four years when all their chickens come home to roost.

5. it would be the end of his political career...

...but the writing's on the wall about that anyway.

[DJ13]

6. Lieberman jumps ship on day 2 of a Dem presidency.

Before then, as he changes to Republican so he can run as McCains VP this November.

[Poiuyt]

7. Lieberman jumps ship no matter who is president

Of course, if McCain is the Repub candidate, Lieberman might be his running mate

[LSK]

Heard on Hartmann that he is campaigning for McCain in Michigan

[Viva_La_Revolution]

8. I predict long before that... how else will he run with McCain?

You know he really wants it. He's practically slobbering all over while stumping for him.

[Kucinich4America]

Lieberman may jump ship sooner than that.

He's been stumping for McCain all over Michigan. If the old fart happens to get the 'Puke nomination, I'm calling Holy Joe as his running mate.

[halobeam]

14. Yeah. Instant Diet, and won't fail ya!

[SteppingRazor]

9. I'll take that bet, douche bag!

Sorry, matcom, the avatar got to me. :P


Anyway, despite my belief that we'll pick up a net total of about eight seats in the Senate, thus destroying Lieberman's power as the swing vote in the Senate, I don't think he'll hop to the GOP. He's the senator from Connecticut. Caucusing with the GOP is political suicide.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

10. Can't Say I Disagree, But What Inspired This Sudden Prediction?

[KamaAina]

12. Lieberman jumps ship on Day 2 of a Dem Senate with more than 51 votes

that is, 1/4/09 rather than 1/21/09. All his bargaining power will be gone, and he won't be able to hold real Dems hostage anymore. One, two, three, AWWWWWWWWWW!

[stellanoir]

13. and I predict

Lightness, followed by darkness, followed by lightness.

Of that one can be sure.

:hi:

[ThoughtCriminal]

15. I think it depends on Senate make up

I suspect he likes sitting on that deciding vote. He jumps only if it enhances his power or if it does not make any difference anymore.

[rateyes]

16. You're wrong.

It'll be day 1.

[Crabby Appleton]

17. I'm not sure which ship he's on right now. nt

[dkofos]

18. Which ship of fools will he be jumping from??

I predict he will be mcains running mate.

[MasonJar]

19. If, as I imagine unless Rove steals another election, the dems win

the presidency and the Congress, there is no benefit to "Lie"bermann in switching. However, after his endorsement of McCain, he will no longer have a chairmanship, so who knows what he might do...and more appropriately (if we have a solid majority), who cares?
