Lieberman could become a GOPer, McConnell Majority Leader.

Senator Joe Lieberman, (D-CT.), is flirting with the idea of being a GOPer, a move that would caterpault Senator Mitch McConnell to Majority Leader. Lieberman is "very troubled about the direction the [Democratic] party is heading on foreign policy generally." So right now for the Senate Democrats, it's anything Joe wants, just to keep him "caucausing" with them. How long that delicate relationship lasts is anyone's guess. A threatened Senate vote on troop funding should reveal the answer fairly quickly. Stay tuned.
