Sen. Joe Lieberman was elected in 2006 as an Independent, but he still caucuses with Democrats. He isn’t likely to fare as well running as an Independent in a three-way contest in 2012.
“We view [Lieberman] the same as any other candidate. We always are supportive of those who espouse our basic core values of lower taxes, less government intrusion, putting an end to deficit spending, etc.,” Tea Party Express spokesman Levi Russell said. “If Lieberman will strongly support those positions, then we would be happy to support him whether he runs as a Dem, Republican or Independent.”
