A bipartisan Obama wants Lieberman kept.
I think this telegraphs a lot.
"Obama told Reid in a phone conversation last week that expelling Lieberman from the Democratic caucus would hurt the message of bipartisanship and unity that he wants for his new administration, a Senate Democratic aide said Tuesday. This aide spoke on condition of anonymity because the discussions were confidential."
(Please understand that I accept the above isn't true in the Conservative world. The aide was anonymous, therefore invisible, therefore doesn't exist, the statement was never made and is untrue anyway.)
Arf (What do you suppose Bush-Cheney would have done, Bow? Wouldn't be pretty, would it.)
