    Lieberman

    I just keep looking for evidence as to whether or not Connecticut Democrats are attempting to do something about this.

    I saw him lie to citizens of Connecticut and the rest of America while he was running in 2006. Basically he said, "I am not a Bushee." There must be some sort of recall procedure available to the voters and I cannot imagine that when he switches to the RP in January, Connecticut Dems are not going to do anything about it. Meanwhile, Reid and other Senate Dems are not stupid. They will approach the matter tactfully. Regardless of party affiliation, on many domestic issues, Lieberman's history is that of a liberal. It looks to me via Fivethirtyfive, Gallup and other pollsters, that the Dems should end up with 56 senators and that great friend from Vermont. That means that the dems will have to shag at least three other senators to beat cloister and get hundreds of judges appointed, important legislation passed and deal with the great crises that we face. Reid knows that he cannot just throw a bucket of (holy water?) on Lieberman after the election.
