Exactly. In response to Sgt.'s comment, races for assembly seats (congress, senate etc) are all about majorities. The individuals are less important and people seem to forget that.
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.
Traitors always do more damage to their own cause than the enemy could ever hope to do. One should always work with traitors (if they are on the other side) because they are huge unexpected gifts but one should never respect them.
