Lieberupdate

One of Lieberman's frequent allies in the Senate, Tom Carper (D-DE), is saying that there should be real consequences to Lieberman's behavior.


You think? Not only did Lieberman campaign for McCain, he campaigned for Republican candidates for the Senate, and he has publicly said that the Democratic Party breaking 60 Senators would be a catastrophe.

One interesting development in all this is that the caucus vote to decide this will be a secret ballot.

Secret ballot....Hmmmm...This means either that the Senators in the Democratic caucus can use this to avoid enmity^* from Lieberman, or they can use it to avoid consequences with their constituents.

I do not know what way this will cut.

^*Except to the degree that he has been vindictive, retributive, and evil son of a bitch towards Democrats ever since he got skunked in the 2004 Presidential primaries, so they will be the victims of his bile regardless of how they choose.
