Same here. On the bright side if the 2006 race was held today, Lieberman would lose to Ned Lamont.  The CT voters believed him when he said he wanted to end the war as quickly as possible. Now they know better.

Lieberman might have the biggest ego in Washington.

I'm not so sure.  Lieberman was a strong advocate for the surge, and now we're winning the war. 

We won the war more than two years ago when we overthrew Saddam Hussein. What we have now is an occupation.

Congressional Democrats no longer care about anti-Semitism or national security, so what on Earth does Joe Lieberman owe them any more? 

I forgot, you have to support the indefinite occupation of Iraq to care about "national security". And yes, the party that over 75% of Jews vote for is the "Anti-Semite" party. Thanks for clearing that up, jackass.

Not too surprised. I can't see why Lieberman should feel obliged to support a party that already kicked him out?

No one "kicked him out". We have something called a democracy, where the voters decide who they want representing them. They chose another candidate over Lieberman in the 2006 election. The election was fair and square.

Joe should've accepted his loss like a man, but his ego was too big to do that.

It certainly was, but it was also not particularly important either.  Losing the support of his party was an inconvenience of course, because it made things just a little harder for him, but ultimately the party banner that anybody of his political seniority runs under shouldn't matter a great deal.

I would've respected Joe if he had just chosen to run as an independent from the beginning, but he didn't. He wanted to have it both ways. He loses the primary, and still finds a way to get on the ballot in the general. Only a true egomaniac would do that.

And it's also infuriating that Lieberman blatantly lied throughout the duration of his general election campaign.
