Democrats kicked Lieberman out of their party, and he's supposed to stay loyal to them?



Exactly.

 He had quite a bit of endorsments behind him from his fellow democrats, and they ditched him the moment he lost the primary. 

 Susan Collins endorsed him for re-election, and I'm glad he is endorsing her. The two of them work very well together, so of course he is going to want her to be re-elected. 

 Still, he does more than Dodd, who is busy running a losing campaign.

Exactly!

 People can say what they want about Lieberman, but the fact is that the PEOPLE of Connecticut chose to re-elect our U.S. Senator, and not the people of the Democrat party.

Yes, the national Democrats opted to support the Democratic nominee, not a third party candidate. What's wrong with that?

What changed about him after losing the primary, other than the fact that he would be an independent who would caucus with the democrats? What happened to make atleast 90% of his elected supporters switch their support to Lamont over him.

The only good thing about this whole situation is that I doubt Lieberman could win another election in Connecticut again after proving to be such a sleazy political opportunist. 

If he runs for re-election in 6 years, I'm sure he'll be re-elected. Who knows what will happen between now and than.
