I'm wondering the same thing. Liebermann probably knows too.
People say this a lot about politicians and I wonder how true it is. Lieberman in particular has never shown himself to be particularly smart. He mostly repeats the conventional "centrist" line and seems to contradict himself fairly regularly. I seem to remember that he drove the Gore campaign nuts in 2000 by spouting off whatever popped into his head.
Most politicians are not following a grand plan but are rather following a guideline of "What will Rush Limbaugh like?" (Conservatives) or "What will the editorial page of the Washington Post like?" (Centrists) or "What will my donors like?" (Pretty much everybody)
