Gutless Dems Reward Lieberman's Backstabbing
http://www.dailykos.com/...
I agree with Kos here completely. And while Lieberman isn't a very important issue (until he uses his position as Chair of the Homeland Security committee to stifle Obama's reforms), what rankles me most is the way the Dems have been so dishonest in their responses to calls about this issue. Several Senators responded by saying that this issue wouldn't be decided until January, and others keep referring to him as a Democrat.
We just put some good fresh new Democratic blood into the House and Senate, and now the Dems need new leadership there. Specifically, Reid should go. If we want reconciliation, then make Hillary the Senate majority leader. I think she'd be better there than as Secretary of State. She's too hawkish on foreign policy, but her legislative skills are needed in the Senate to craft good details around Obama's progressive vision. It's probably where she'd have the most influence on health care reform too.
P.S. Obviously, Hillary's not my personal favorite, but at least she was supported by nearly half of Democratic voters.
