Lieberman Says War Vote Could Prompt Party Switch

The "slow bleed" policy advocated by many on the left could very possibly push him over....

Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman of Connecticut told the Politico Thursday that he has no immediate plans to switch parties, but suggested Democratic opposition to funding the war in Iraq might change his mind.

Lieberman, a registered independent who caucuses with Democrats, has been among the strongest supporters of the war and President Bush’s plan to send another 21,500 combat troops into Iraq to help quell the violence there.

Even though Lieberman is unquestionably a liberal the Republicans are responsible for him winning his seat.
