Senator Joseph Lieberman from Connecticut has jumped to an impressive 17 point lead over his opponent, Ned Lamont, who ousted him from his party in the contentious primaries earlier this year. Joe is in great position, as his opponent’s and the DailyKOS grassroots campaign’s bubble is not only bursting, but looking like it will stick to their face rather messily.

Post election Joe has a choice to make if he wins: will he return to the Democrat party and mount a reform movement from within, perhaps partnering with Zell Miller? Will he switch party for a committee chairmanship in the Republican Party? Will he stay independent and play both parties dependant on issue?
