How likely is it that Ben Nelson, Joseph I. Lieberman, or another member of the Democratic caucus switches their organizational allegiance?

I assume Lieberman's political career is over in 2012 anyway. It's up to him what he wants to do with his last 2 years. My sense though is that he was always most attracted to the neocon wing of the GOP.

Lieberman would get primaried. Rainman said it himself-- he voted for Obamacare, so he showed his "true colors" (according to the tea party which apparently decides GOP primaries now). wormguy's also right-- no one likes him. At least people like Castle, Murkowski et. al had their party establishments behind them. Lieberman sacrificed the loyalty of his own top staffers to go on his ego trip. It's over now. I'd be very surprised if he was still in the Senate after 2012.
