Independent Senator Joseph Lieberman has given his strongest indication to date he could be switching to the Republican Party. In an interview with Politico, Lieberman suggested Democratic opposition to funding the war in Iraq could lead him across the aisle. Lieberman says he has no desire to change parties, but added: “If that ever happens, it is because I feel the majority of Democrats have gone in a direction that I don’t feel comfortable with.” Lieberman ran and won as an independent after losing the Connecticut Democratic nomination to challenger Ned Lamont last year.
