Lieberman is suffering from Stockholm Syndrome. Either that or he is fooling the voters that by voting for him they are not really voting Republican. This only confirms my suspicion that , despite his reputation, as a "principled" politician, he is really just he same old, same old.

'This only confirms my suspicion that , despite his reputation, as a "principled" politician, he is really just he same old, same old."
"Principled politician" is an oxymoron. While one could - for oneself - be as principled as one wants, to be a principled politician requires having absolute power - i.e. having no need to take anyone else into account and compromise with them. But an absolute ruler is not a politician [unless in foreign relations], for the definition of political relationship is one between independent actors.

The night he lost to Lamont and announced that he was going to run as an indie, he said that he was an "independent"-DEMOCRAT and would ALWAYS caucus with the Dems! He is "suffering" from nothing at all. The GOPers who think that he is a "good guy" are the ones wearing earplugs and blinders.
