When you vote in such an election the most important issue you are voting for is which party are you helping put in the majority. Lieberman, by running as an independent, is helping the Republicans retain the majority. Therefore he is helping the Republican cause. If he truly believes in Democrat principles he is doing the worst thing he can do to promote those principles.

Maybe he believes in the principle of principled government? Or freedom? Or supporting our commander in chief during wartime? Or the right of Israel to exist as a Jewish state? If so, he owes it to the country and to history to retain his seat, because the Dems don't believe in any of those principles.
