Joe Lieberman gets another term in 2012

What if Joe Lieberman had run for reelection in 2012 and won?

There was a big question of what banner he'd run under. He said he'd be most inclined towards running as an Independent again, but he considered (or rather didn't kill the possibility of) running as a Republican and mentioned that he'd be sitting down with NDSC Chair Patty Murray.

How could he get reelected, whether as a Democrat, Republican, or Independent?
 
Lieberman was basically toast in 2012, there is no way he would get nominated by either the Democrats or Republicans and the party he created in 2006 Connecticut for Lieberman was taken over by activists and were going to deny him that nomination.
He would have to run as an Independent, but unlike 2006 the Republicans thought with a stronger candidate this time they could win the seat for themselves.
