Lieberman is keeping his post as it forces him to vote the way Obama and co. want him to vote. If Joe does something the democratic leadership doesn't like, Lieberman will be taken out and put in charge of trash collection in the parks.
Before when he kept the dems in their slim majority, Lieberman held the dems hostage with "do as I say or I am out." Now Obama can say "Do as I say or you are out."
Kicking Lieberman out may feel good, but keeping him in ensures one more vote on important issues. His humiliation will be private, not public, but he is now in a very different situation than a few months ago.
