Who is Lieberman Rooting for in Georgia?

Saxby Chambliss is sending some mixed signals about Ted Stevens:
First of all, I hope Senator Stevens is successful in being re-elected. And assuming that he is, I intend to support any motion to remove him.
Alrighty then. I guess he figures the possibility of a replacement Republican beating Begich in a special election is better than Begich winning the seat outright… which looks pretty likely right now.
What I really want to know is, who is Lieberman rooting for in Georgia? On the one hand, he has more in common with Chambliss, but if Martin wins and Begich and Franken pull out their elections, that would make Joe the magical 60th vote and, in his mind, the belle of the ball. (To those of you with Photoshop skills, I beg you: Don’t do it.)
Of course, anyone who would give Joe leverage (Lieberage?) based on the premise that he would vote against Republican filibusters is a fool. Good thing the Democrats don’t have any of those, eh?
