I think Joe would consider it, if the Republicans where in a position to offer him very much. But what can they offer him now? His choice of committees to head for two years, at the risk of royally pissing of the voters in CT and being an outcast after two years?

He nearly has that already, and at no cost to him. Lieberman is just playing games to squeeze as much out of the Democrats as he can, because he knows they have to offer him a good slot now. Lieberman will end up as head of some choice committee, but possibly not his first choice.
