Senator Lieberman to become a Republican?

ThePolitico reports that Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman of Connecticut may consider switching if Democrats decide to increase their opposition to the War in Iraq,

“I have no desire to change parties,” Lieberman said in a telephone interview. “If that ever happens, it is because I feel the majority of Democrats have gone in a direction that I don’t feel comfortable with.”

FYI: The Democrats, which have a 51-49 majority in the Senate, would lose the majority if Lieberman moved over to the Republicans. 50-50 split in the Senate could be broken by the President of the Senate, Republican VP Dick Cheney.
