I’m tempted to say better late than never, but this really should have happened ages ago:
Despite assurances to the contrary from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Democratic insiders are certain that Sen. Joseph Lieberman will be kicked out of the party’s caucus next year and lose his Senate chairmanship if he addresses the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minn., as planned.
Lieberman’s Democratic colleagues willing to accept his support of Sen. John McCain for president consider his speaking to the GOP convention as the last straw. Lieberman was re-elected from Connecticut as an independent in 2006 after losing the Democratic nomination because of his support for the Iraq War.
Ned Lamont 2012, anyone?
[…] Lieberman has little reason to attend the DNC convention, because he has been stripped of his super-delegate status and may be kicked out of the Democratic caucus next year. […]
I like the way you think. I’m going to tell some of my friends on the left about your website.
