Lieberman thinks it is ok if HE loses by a small margin to go ahead and run as an Independent. Why is it ok for him and not Lamont?

1. Because Lamont would then be a hypocrite...
Since he already made a very strong point of saying he would support the nominee!!

7. Let's assume he hadn't said that, just for fun
Would it then be ok to run as an Indy?

2. I think it's wrong for EITHER one to do that! I just heard Ned tell
Tweety he would support the winner of the primary so I know HE wouldn't consider running as an Ind. I'm still not convinced that Joe will either.
