Are Republicans trying to woo Senator Joseph I. Lieberman?
Mr. Lieberman, a Connecticut independent whom Democrats have counted as one of their own, is the honored guest at a Washington fund-raising dinner that is being hosted by a group of top Republican fund-raisers.
This year, he is not on the ballot. The event, according to an invitation being sent this week to potential contributors, is to benefit his 2012 re-election campaign.
The question, though, is what party Mr. Lieberman will align himself if he decides to ask voters to give him a fifth term in the Senate...[snip]
Is Mr. Lieberman simply hedging his bets – being loosely aligned with Democrats now, but keeping his options open with Republicans if they sweep the fall elections and inch closer to controlling the Senate? Or is this Republican fund-raising event later this month a sign that he is making a more permanent move to the right?
Or is he just taking his own particular brand of political whoring to a whole new level?
