I don't necessarily see this as weakness on his part -- more like triangulation. Maybe he's determined to follow a centrist path on foreign policy and national security -- more moderate than Bush's but not anything that we would be happy with. With Lieberman at the head of the Homeland Security committee he has an easy excuse.
I agree with Glenn about the uselessness of the Democrats. Once the Franken recount is completed, my political pittances will be donated to "Accountability Now".
Only by replacing some key Democrats (and frightening the rest) can we get any leverage. Depending on events and the shifts of public opinion, that's a strategy that might work. The only one, really. If we're nice we'll just lose.
