What Do We Do With Lieberman?
By RP Staff | November 16, 2008
As Democrats continue getting their house in order–pun intended–one of the most vexing questions that the party faces is what to do with Joe Lieberman. Lieberman who as recently as 2000 was the Democratic vice-presidential nominee, and on whose behalf Barack Obama campaigned in 2006, was extremely critical of Obama during this year’s presidential race. While stumping for his longtime friend John McCain Lieberman went as far to say on a number of occasions that he was afraid of an Obama presidency.
The issue for Democrats is that they have a slim majority over Republicans in the senate and therefore, at least on paper, it seems to make sense to keep Lieberman in their caucus, even if that means potentially allowing him to keep his chairmanship over the Homeland Security committee.
Last week Rachel Maddow issued a commentary declaring that “Joe Must Go!” RaisingKaine followed Maddow’s commentary with this clip from Byron Dorgan.
Should the Democrats grow a pair as Maddow suggests and let Joe go, or should they keep him?
