Hullabaloo — They Just Keep On Rolling by digby Brave New Films has put together a nice little film featuring Joe Lieberman's greatest hits during the campaign. I hadn't realized he was actually pimping the Bill Ayres business: Obama said today that he doesn't hold any grudges and he's going to leave it up to the caucus to decide (not that he could really do anything different.) But if Lieberman stays, I certainly hope he has eyes in the back of his head. Think Progress has a dossier on Lieberman. So does Jane Hamsher. And both ...
Brave New Films: Strip Lieberman of his gavel.
Think Progress —
Last summer, Brave New Films delivered a petition with 43,000 signatures to congressional leadership with the message, “Lieberman must go.” Today, the project released a new film emphasizing that Lieberman is no progressive. Watch it:
BNF is asking people to call their representatives and Senators and urge them to remove Lieberman from his chairmanship of the Homeland Security Committee. ...
Robert Greenwald: Do You Want Lieberman to Have Subpoena Power to Investigate President Obama?
Politics on HuffingtonPost.com —
Joe Lieberman has launched consistent, deeply partisan attacks on President-elect Barack Obama, questioning his patriotism and fitness to lead. While Lieberman campaigned for John McCain and spoke on his behalf at the Republican National Convention, he spread some of the GOP's nastiest smears. Think Progress has provided thorough evidence of Lieberman's partisan politics. Lieberman should not be allowed to have subpoena power to investigate the Obama administration as chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. In fact, he should not be allowed to remain chairman of this or any other committee. ...
New video goes after Lieberman
Politico Live's Blogs —
The campaign from the left to eject Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) from the chair of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee now has its own video. It uses footage of Lieberman harshly criticizing Barack Obama -- at one point asserting that he doesn't put his "country first" -- against the Connecticut independent. The production is done by Brave New Films, more commonly known for its anti-FoxNews videos.

Here is what I am seeing this late afternoon / early evening:
There are roughly 225,000 registered Democrats in Delaware who are at least thirty years old (multiply registration figures by age crosstabs on the Delaware exit poll). This gives each of them a 1-225,000 chance of becoming the next Senator from Delaware. Seems like pretty good odds, if you ask me. Delaware Dem and Swing State Project have actual thoughts on Biden's replacement.
Obama won everyone (58% of the electorate) who is not a white Protestant 67%-31%, and everyone (74% of the electorate) who is not a white evangelical / born-again 62%-36% ...

discuss Holy Joe Lieberman’s long-term future. I love this scene: the gunsel holding two massive guns is the actually the least powerful one in the room, while the smart, fast-on-his-feet Sam Spade effortlessly exercises real power even while surrounded by mortal enemies, because he understands exactly how the real world works. Which is why when I read something like this -- Obama Supports Keeping Lieberman in Democratic Caucus By Paul Kane President-elect Barack Obama has endorsed keeping Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.) in the Democratic ...
What's To Be Done With Treacherous Joe Lieberman Now That McCain Has Lost And Lieberman Has Come Crawling Back?
DownWithTyranny! —
Unless today is your first visit to DWT you probably have some idea that Joe Lieberman has been one of this blog's least favorite members of Congress... for many, many, many years. I was forced to deal with his narrow minded bigotry, vicious racism and manipulative triangulating when I was an executive at Warner Bros and he was busy whipping up hysteria about lyrics to help his fundraising and raise his national profile. In February, 2006 I helped kick off the progressive drive to expose him as a warmonger and hypocritical reactionary by spreading out to Huff Po, here and here. Since then, Democratic ...
