Joe Lieberman has "caucused" with the Democrats now for a couple of years --- and he seems incredibly uncomfortable doing so, particularly on the issue of health care.
Now with Al Franken giving the Democrats the supposed "filibuster-proof" 60 votes in the senate, I think that it is time for the Democrats to recognize that a) they don't have a filibuster proof majority, nor will they with these numbers while Lieberman, and others, are part of that majority and b) that they'd be better off without the commentators suggesting that they have said majority.
As such, I think that it's time to push Lieberman out of the caucus. Recognize that he's not aligned on the issues, and as such shouldn't be allowed to align where other things (like committee assignments) are concerned.
And then all they have to do is fight like they actually care on the important issues.
Yours, giving advice sure to be ignored,
N.
