I'm Shocked!!! - Lieberman unsure he'll support Obama in 2012
Senator Joe Lieberman, a Connecticut Independent who caucuses with the Democrats, told host John McCaslin on America's Morning News radio show on Tuesday morning that he had not decided if he would endorse President Obama in 2012:

MCCASLIN: Will you be supporting Barack Obama in 2012 or are you going to be putting your money on a Republican candidate?

LIEBERMAN: Well I haven't decided and I'm just waiting to see who the Republican candidate is and what President Obama's positions are at that point, so I got a little time as an independent not to feel rushed, because this is an important position. And I'm only one person but for every one of us who we support next year is going to say a lot about how our kids and grandkids are going to grow up in America, so I'm watching.

Good! Go back the Repukes just like you did in '08 you self-important pontificating jerk!

18. Obama dumped the Democrat to campaign for Lieberman.
Remember Ned Lamont?

22. Me too. Lieberman's the Senator from ENRON...
Lieberman in Enronland

It has come to this: The investigation of Enron as a political scandal appears for now to depend on Senator Joseph Lieberman, an Enron Democrat who bagged Enron campaign contributions and who worked hard to block accounting reforms. Lieberman's committee agreed to issue subpoenas seeking information that could shed light on Enron contacts with the White House, but the question is, How hard is he willing to push?

CONTINUED...

And to think some wonder: "Why do they still worship Wall Street and practice trickle-down?" It's because THAT's where the money is.

42. Dems traditionally support the incumbent in the primary. Obama supported Lamont in the GE.
link: http://www.talkleft.com/story/2006/10/26/221519/73

Obama: "Ned Lamont has waged an impressive grassroots campaign to give the people of Connecticut a choice in the November Senate election. He has a vision for his state and country, and his campaign has been about presenting that vision to Connecticut voters.

Ned Lamont and I share a commitment to bringing our troops home safely from Iraq, to achieving energy independence, to helping all our citizens realize the American dream, and to empowering the American people to reclaim their government. Ned Lamont’s campaign is about delivering on these goals in Washington.

The November 7th election is right around the corner. Please join me in supporting Ned Lamont with your hard work on-the-ground in these closing weeks of the campaign."

2. He didn't support him in 2008......
so nothing has changed.

And what is hillarious is folks have been counting him as part of Obama's 49 day
super majority, when blaming Obama for not doing more when he had super majorities! :rofl:

3. He's waiting to see if Obama will cut SS to fund the Pentagon.
A Lieberman endorsement is not a good thing.

9. Well, I don't see Lieberman supporting a Perry or a Bachmann, but he may support a Progressive
Doubtful, but We'll see. I hope more Senators follow suit with this. Maybe then someone will have the balls to Primary Obama if they see no one in the party wants him to run again. Or better yet, Obama will withdraw from the race. That would be the honorable thing to do. You can't run as the Democratic Candidate when you support almost none of their policies. He should run as a Republican. He could beat Bachmann and Perry in their Primary.

I'm not scared of him, but I think it's likely.

I guess since he's an I he can afford to play. I'm wondering what he'll get for supporting the GOP or Obama.

He's irrelevant at this point. It's just like listening to an average citizen say, "I'll vote for $RANDOM_PRESIDENT_CANDIDATE"
