PSoTD poses a blogroll challenge...

So I'm asking the bloggers below - those on the PSoTD blogroll - to post about this question this week:

Will Joe Lieberman support the Republican candidate for President in 2008, reasons why or why not, and what's the political value to him?

Depends. He might endorse Biden or Dodd, but let's face it, he won't have the chance. Obama campaigned with him and holds some chips that might keep Joe out of it altogether even if they don't buy an endorsement. Hillary? There'd be a lot of pressure on Joe from his pals at the DLC to come aboard, and again, if he doesn't, he might stay away.

Should my man John win the nomination, though, I suspect Joe would flee to the arms of whatever the Republicans come up with, and Edwards would more likely celebrate than resist the move.

He wouldn't endorse Richarson, either, but it would break the Governor's heart.

If Dennis gets the nod, Joe probably moves to Israel and washes his hands of the whole mess.

I'm not sure that any course of action has any political value to Lieberman, though, because if Democrats can pick up a single seat in the Senate, and I think it's reasonable to expect more than that, Joe Lieberman will become the least relevant figure in American politics.

Of course, as my pal Terry says, I could be wrong.
