The Devil is in the Details
It's really important in politics that you pay attention to detail, or else you let things like this slip (H/T California Yankee at RedState):
Stories like this show how important it is that political figures and elected officials pay attention to the details. It is easy to speak in broad generalities and to talk in haughty tones, but if you don't pay attention to the little things, that's when you get in trouble...
The political party formed by U.S. Sen. Joseph Lieberman after he lost the Democratic primary in August has a new chairman - and it's not Lieberman.Read the whole story, it's fascinating.
However, according to the bylaws adopted by its new chairman, Lieberman critic and Fairfield University professor John Orman, the senator is an eligible party candidate.
According to bylaws established by Orman, anyone whose last name is Lieberman may seek the party's nomination - or any critic of the senator.
Orman seized control of the Connecticut for Lieberman Party this week after registering as its sole member and electing himself as chairman.

So, does Lieberman go back to being a democrat, or will his voter regitration show as unaffiliated?
His voter registration never changed from being a Democrat, believe it or not. However, he does get the opportunity to identify himself as anything he wants as a Senator just by telling the Clerk of the Senate what he wants to be, so he is id'ing himself as "Independent Democrat."
