So, we get the White House, a bigger House majority, and 59 Senate seats ........
..... and defeated (McCain) veep candidate Joe Lieberman comes back to the Senate. He ran as a 'unity' partner with nutball McCain and never changed his registration to Repubican ...........
..... what do we do?
I say "**** 'em" .... caucus with your dick, you piece of shit.
But that's just me.
Do we allow him in to get our super majority?
You know, the fantasy on Skins's island has been more fantastical than ever, it seems.

1. He wouldn't vote with us anyway.
He would attempt to hold us hostage to his ego, however.
Screw him.

4. 60 seats only means something...
... if you can line up all 60 votes when the chips are down.
Not a prayer in hell, IMO. Too much bribe money floating out there for 60 Senators to act in unison and integrity on a matter of importance.

5. it won't mean anything
if we have 59 people caucusing with the democrats in the senate to have a 60th that really won't be supporting us. So say adios to Lieberman and let him go caucus on his own or with the repubs.

6. With Lieberman you would have a super-majority only in theory
And it would be a theory that would quickly be dis-proven. Even if we have 60 Dems in the Senate without Lieberman, it would not be a particularly powerful super-majority. Herding cats and all that...

7. I heard Harry Reid say how much they have to depend on him for important votes. It must be hard to keep up the pretenses of civility after all he has done.
You know, franksolich had another one of those dreams, about Barry "Goldwater" Obama, the Obamaites, the Obamaites betrayed, including a whole cast of characters such as my fellow alum Skins and the senior U.S. Senator from Connecticut, but he'll wait until the forum needs a "filler" before publishing it.
It was a great dream. All-star cast of characters. Obamaite primitives betrayed.

Wow. The sparkling one must really tighten that leash on a regular basis. He's unglued again.

Yes, I'm sure it's quite difficult for Joe to bite his tongue at those times.

I see it the otherway. Lieberman has shown incredible class to deal with a party that essentially campaigned against him while he was a member (and incumbent!)
