I had this crazy thought.
Joe Lieberman should grab a couple of moderate reps and moderate dems and create a new caucus. I was thinking along the lines of Snowe and Chafee types (I know chafee lost) and I'm sure he can find a couple of dems that lean right far enough to come unde rhis umbrella (maybe some southern types that think Dean and Hill are too far out there to speak for them). Make a new Caucus of 5 or 6 or 10 votes that the tepo parties must appeal to to get the votes they need. Create a new party, called the "Joementum" party. Yes, I can dream. Not dreaming that this will be a party I support, just that it will make things more interesting.

That wouldn't be very appetizing for Bush right now, as it would remove a vital pro-war vote from the Senate.

CT has a Republican governor. Would she get to choose JL's replacement? Then JL could screw over the folks who backstabbed him in his party without even officially switching parties. Win-win.
(Since we're talking implausibilities anyway, might as well continue.)

Not sure. I wasn't aware that CT has a Republican governor; that changes things.

I think he should name Hillary Clinton Sec of Defence.

So Eliot Spitzer appoints the Senator? I think I'd rather have Clinton.
