Thank you! I want to be armed with this correction the next time I see "He'll be kicked out in 2010, don't worry!" at a progressive blog.

I would say DAMN IT re. that extra 2 years, but it doesn't matter, since the Connecticut-ites who've stated they will not vote for him are under 50%.

Still, some of the rationalizations in this Kellerized comment thread are hilarious.

My senator is Mark Pryor (AR). He habitually votes like a Blue Dog, so I'm certain he wasn't one of the 13 who voted to serve Lieberman his dessert, even though we called his office beforehand. Mark Pryor runs unopposed in every election. His father before him did the same. He can do whatever he pleases, for as long as it pleases him.

They all can! Yesterday's poll of Connecticut voters who say they will not vote for him is under 50%! He will be re-elected in 2010. You watch.

What the dems did to Ned Lamont in 2006 was sickening. Why expect any better from these people now?

Evan Bayh (my number one favorite Democrat back when I used to be a gun-crazy home-schooling pious little repug, I swear to you!) says they CAN. But is that tue? I mean, a U.S. senator said it, so it's probably Kool Aid, but if they CAN, how would that look? Lieberman starts to investigate President Obama, subpeonas his stuff, and the senate majority takes away his gavel? HAHAHAH!

Isn't going to happen. But I've got so I don't care what Lieberman does to the Democrats. I was a Democrat yesterday. I think that may be...history now.

I bet Leiberman will now fire up the committee and start doing investigations of the Obama admin and generally be a thorn in Obama's side.

And I wouldn't count on Lieberman's help in breaking any filibuster.

I wonder how our two Senators voted...?

Obama in particular? He made transcending partisan politics a central feature of his campaign. He's simply following through on what he promised.

Reid knows Leiberman isn't a Democrat and chose not to be a Democrat. So this is a piece of lying spin. More things change...

Sometimes one has to act on principle. This makes me doubt the core values of the higher ups in the Democratic party, Obama in particular. We'll see if they do more in the next year than give handouts to Wall Street... I hope my fears are wildly unjustified.
