I read earlier today that he said he would not join a filibuster but would vote against a bill with a public option. When I get home from work he now will join a filibuster?

1. He said he will vote to bring debate but not to end it if it includes a public option

2. I imagine it depends on what he is offered.
All Lieberman gives a shit about is money and power.

The insurance companies are offering him money, so I'll bet he's pimping the Democratic caucus for power; perhaps gutting a potential Democratic primary challenger.

5. I realize Lieberman is delusional
But there is no way he is going to get reelected as an "independent" again. He must know he is a dead man walking in the Senate so he's cashing in his chips.
