Makes me wonder if the Democrats had not won the Senate, would they have told Joe it was time to go? Would they have had the guts to tell him they had no further use for him? It looks like not only the Democrats, but the people, and the country would all be better off if they did exactly that. It’s obvious that Lieberman wants to be a Republican — so it’s time to go, Joe.

The Senate is not going to be able to pass anything that Bush will sign. People are too dumb to understand what filibuster is. Control of the Senate as it is now constituted means nothing. Actually, it’s worth less than nothing because it leaves the Democrats with a club over their heads in the hands of Lieberman.

The problem is all the committee heads would lose their positions if Democrats lose control. They like the idea they are running something. Being Chairman of a Senate Committee makes them think they have power.
