In making this move today, I feel that I do so in the best interests of my consituents and in a manner where I can both uphold the mission that they have honoured me by empowering me to carry out, and faithfully serve them in the process. In the coming years, I fully intend to communicate with and represent all of my consituents who have placed their faith in my and to reach back across the aisle to my colleagues in the Democrat Party in an effort to rebuild the bridges of trust and unity that are essential to the effective governance of our Nation as we proceed in these trying yet hopeful times. Thank you and may G-d bless our Nation and Israel"

If Lieberman is a Democrat, he gets fawned over by Republicans to cross over over and give them bipartisan cover. If he changes parties, he suddenly becomes Arlen Specter or Lincoln Chafee, only more dubious. As a Democrat, he's his own dog, but as a Republican, he's their bitch.
