| Quote: | Lieberman refuses to close door on switching parties
HARTFORD, Conn. --Sen. Joe Lieberman on Sunday repeated his pledge to caucus with Senate Democrats when the 110th Congress convenes in January, but refused to slam the door on possibly moving to the Republican side of the aisle.
Asked on NBC's "Meet the Press" if he might follow the example of Sen. Jim Jeffords of Vermont, who left the Republicans in 2001 and became an independent, ending Republican control of the U.S. Senate, Lieberman refused to discount the possibility.
"I'm not ruling it out but I hope I don't get to that point," he said. "And I must say -- and with all respect to the Republicans who supported me in Connecticut -- nobody ever said, 'We're doing this because we want you to switch over. We want you to do what you think is right and good for our state and country,' and I appreciate that.

Too bad Zell Miller couldn't be pursuaded to switch too.
Wouldn't that frost the Dem cake?
After the treatment the dems gave Joe how can they possibly expect him to stay a loyal dem. Switching parties to the GOP would be perfect.
Joe's already shown that he is solidly behind the troops, he may as well join the side that isn't down on America.
Of course Joe might just be using this to leverage the Dems into letting him have what he wants.
