Can we finally strip Lieberman of his chairmanship now? Once again the DFHs (especially Ned Lamont) were right and the so-called political pundits were wrong. I’m not holding my breath waiting for the establishment to apologize for their support of Lieberman. Will Lieberman apologize to the people of Connecticut for lying to them about how he would vote?

"There's a hard core of partisan Democrats on the other side. And in between is the larger group, which is people who really want to see the right thing done, or want something good done for this country and them -- and that means, sometimes, the better choice is somebody who's not a Democrat."

To be sure, this is hardly an explicit threat. But it is an instance in which a powerful Democratic senator raised the specter of connecting Lieberman's vote on reform and his role as a committee chairman and caucus member. A little something for Lieberman to have "cross his mind." In related news, Lieberman also told ABC News yesterday that he's likely to campaign for Republican candidates next year. "I probably ...

... over Lieberman's comments that he's planning to run in 2012. But I think Lieberman pretty much has to say at this point that he's planning to run in '12, since he doesn't want to be a lame duck for 3+ years. I still think the odds are pretty favorable that this will be his last term in the Senate.

Conservatives were gleeful this morning to hear Senator Joe Lieberman, the Democrat-turned-independent from Connecticut, say on ABC that he would support Republicans in next year’s Congressional races. Mr. Lieberman, you will recall, votes most times with the Democrats, but he got himself into hot water with them last fall, after he endorsed his close friend John McCain for president. In spite of the hard feelings, the Senate Democrats voted to allow him to keep his chairmanship of the Homeland Security Committee. This morning Mr. Lieberman told ABC about ...

He makes Arlen Specter seem like FDR. ...
