Rich Galen says it could happen, "I suspect that before this year is out Joe Lieberman (I-Conn) will still be an independent, but he will be caucusing with the Republican majority in the US Senate."
I'm not entirely sure he is correct... but it is possible. I thought if there was ever an opportunity to Lieberman to make the switch, it would have been during the debate over the Iraq war funding bill when Democrats were pushing for a surrender date. Now, Democrats eventually surrendered (pun intended) on that and the Afghanistan and Iraq wars are now funded through September. So, If Galen is correct, then Lieberman would most likely make the switch in September.
It would be sweet to see him abandon the party that abandoned him. I think he would have already done it by now if he was going to.
