For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: Are Lieberman and the Democrats heading for a divorce?
He has zigzagged the country on behalf of McCain, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, and, in recent weeks, amplified his criticism of Senator Barack Obama to a point that has infuriated many of his Democratic colleagues. At least two have asked Lieberman to tone down his rhetoric against Obama, the presumptive Democratic nominee, two colleagues said, and at least three have advised Lieberman against speaking at the Republican convention, a prospect he has said he would entertain.
Is Lieberman destined to become a Republican during the 111th Congress? How might his appearance at the RNC in September impact the elections? Might he actually be McCain's veep, and, if so, how do you see that changing the presidential race if at all?
