1. Don't get angry, get even.
2. IF (and it is a big if at this point) Obama does end torture as a policy, Guantanamo, illegal surveillance and has his DOJ enforce Congressional subpoenas, I don't really care if he does it with or without Lieberman as the chairman of the homeland security committee. That really is Obama's headache.
3. At some point Lieberman is going to try to undercut Obama (it is in Lieberman's nature to do so); I need to see how effectively Obama deals with that.
4. If you are a political partisan, you will be hurt as your leader sends you into this battle today and makes peace with yesterday's opponent that you were grappling with.
5. Don't overestimate your strength. If more netroots candidates such as Darcy Burner had made it, or if the netroots had succeeded in ousting Michelle Bachman or Mean Jean Schmidt, the netroots would have more clout.
