This just in... our sources say that the Dem caucus has voted to allow Lieberman to keep his Chairmanship of the Homeland Security Committee.

The vote was 43-12 to allow Lieberman to keep thechair.

With 55 votes, the new members were obviously all in attendance.

Apparently only two Senators spoke in favor of removing Lieberman (and they are both from the same State).

More to follow...



Any guesses?

1. VT

:-)

2. Patrick Leahy and Bernard Sanders (VT)

4. Oh yes, it is probably them.

[Critters2]

7. Oh, yeah. That's gotta be it. They've both spoken against him publicly. nt

16. That would be my guess

[WI_DEM]

3. Kerry and Kennedy?

[Marrah_G]

12. I would like to think so, but I doubt it.

Obama wanted them to vote yes and I am betting they did.

15. I doubt it

Kerry was on the same page as Obama when he was a surrogate on the last MTP before the election - the question then was Leiberman remaining in the Democratic conference. He is also very non-vindictive.

5. Hmm...what states have two Dems? nt

8. The link is from the Green Mountain Daily. That's a dead givaway

right there. It's Pat and Bernie.

6. Mine. Bernie and Pat.

No surprise there.

9. You should be proud. I've let Durbin know how pissed I am.

Not that'll matter.

11. I am proud, but to be quite honest, I'd expect them both to speak

out against Lieberman during the meeting. They said they would.

10. Isn't it odd how an independent like Bernie is willing to speak up?

But not members of our own party?

[cali]

14. uh, Pat Leahy is a dem and he was the first to speak up against Lieberman.

[Debi]

13. Carper spoke out against him earlier - would be great if Joe Biden did too

but probably not. :shrug:

[Lucky 13]

17. I am so proud of my Senators. Today and everyday.

Too few patriots like them.
