Yeah, I've been mulling over various Lieberman scenarios over the weekend.
My parents came out to Michigan from Connecticut. My mom's easy, I had her voting Lamont in the primary. My dad is more of an old-school union guy. He voted Joe in the primary but they each cast absentee ballots for Lamont last week in case they somehow were delayed on the trip home yesterday.
As for the scenarios, my dad and I were both imagining the following:
Lieberman wins. The Senate is now extremely tight but not flipped. He goes forward as an independant (ie: Jeffords and Bernie) rather than returning to the Democrats and votes with Dems on social stuff and Repugs on defense/war. He struts around DC with a massive hard-on because he is now the swing vote and everyone must come to him. Also known as not much different then before except the size of the Joementum.
Lieberman wins. Senate flips by one seat. Bush offers Lieberman Rumsfeld's job. He takes it. CT Gov. Rell (R) appoints his replacement, flipping the Senate back to R. It wouldn't surprise me a bit if this isn't already worked out ahead of time.
Lieberman loses. Lamont wins. Nobody from either party has any use for that blowhard POS for the rest of his life.

Can I take option three there? Thanks.
I think, unfortunately, that racism prevails in Tennessee and Dems miss the Senate by 1 seat. But take 22 seats in the House instead of 15.
