Lieberman After Meeting with Reid - Video
Firedoglake —
Reid and Lieberman won't say what happened in the meeting.
My guess? Reid told him he can stay in the caucus if he steps down from his committee chairmanship (a campaign we started shortly after the 2006 election, thanks to everyone who participated with pitchforks and torches). I imagine Reid told him they'll wait to do anything until the other Senate races are decided, but that's the way it's going to go down. Those are the rather well-source rumors circulating, anyway.
Joe now goes to see if he can get a better deal from the GOP, knowing ...

It's being reported that there was no conclusion reached in the meeting between Lieberman and Reid yesterday regarding the weaselly one's future in as the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. The same sources who told about the substance of yesterday's agenda indicated that Reid is not kicking Joe out yet because there are several Senate seats still to be decided. If by some miracle Franken wins the recounts, Chambliss loses the runoff (which would probably only happen if Obama campaigned for him), and the ...
