The problem is they don't want to hand over control of the Senate to the GOP. Not that it matters, they're caving on every mother fucking thing anyway. Sigh. Fisa. Sigh.

they're only stuck with him till november if they improve their majority, which it seems they will.

and hopefully, by then, this petition will have millions of signatures.

with or without this petition, i suspect that five minutes after midnight on election day, ol joe is going to be out of the party in every sense of the word.

the petition will send a clear message to HIM, if nothing else, that his days are numbered. he won't be re-elected the next time he faces voters unless he moves to a red state.

That's like letting the Big Bad Wolf sit in on meetings at the Three Little Pigs Construction Company.

Lieberman claiming to be a Democrat is as laughable as eman claiming to be a Democrat, or Satan claiming to love Jesus.
If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck and smells like a duck... it doesn't matter if it claims to be an Eagle.

I don't suppose you've all thought about that Connecticut might just turn Republican on you, right?

The Hill's Blog Briefing Room » Reid Won't 'Threaten' Lieberman for Attacking Obama

Reid Won't 'Threaten' Lieberman for Attacking Obama
@ 2:25 pm by Andy Barr
Despite Sen. Joe Lieberman's (I-Conn.) recent attacks directed at Barack Obama on Iran, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) says he won't "threaten" Lieberman to keep his hands off the Democratic nominee because his vote is crucial to the thin majority Democrats hold in the Senate.

"Let's stop and think a little bit," Reid said, The Hill's Manu Raju tells The Briefing Room.

"What did we vote on yesterday? hmm. We voted on the budget. Without Lieberman's vote, the budget would not have passed. Without Lieberman, the budget would not have been written. So I think everybody should understand that Joe Lieberman had made a decision on issues relating to the war. And he's decided to back John McCain. But Joe Lieberman is an important vote for this caucus."

Asked if Lieberman should not be criticizing Obama, Reid said, "I've had conversations with Joe Lieberman at some length. I'm not going to discuss the conversations here. But I think the discussions he had with Obama yesterday and the discussions that he had with me had been fruitful. And we'll let the future decide what it's going to be."

"But I'm not about to threaten anybody at this stage," Reid said, indicating Lieberman's seat as chair of Senate Homeland Security & Government Affairs is safe.

Be careful what you ask for. Lieberman is not a Democrat, you can't throw him out of the party, but without him things can be very Republican for all things besides the war.

...for 5 months.

and i'm not concerned about connecticut going gop.
three way races (like that senate race) are another can of worms -
but this time, it won't be THAT kind of three way race...

barr will hurt mc cain, and nader will flop - and the GE race will be for all intents and purposes - a two party race.
