2. Can you blame them? I sure can't.

No one with a shred of self respect wants to work for a Judas. And that's exactly what Lieberman is, a traitor to the Democratic Party. A disgrace to the people of Connecticut.

"Lieberman returned to Capitol Hill Monday — his first day back since speaking at the convention — and was greeted by the resignation of his $120,000-a-year legislative director, Joe Goffman," the online political news site reports. "The 66-year-old Connecticut independent has said he hopes to stay in the Democratic fold, although people close to him say he’s increasingly pessimistic about his prospects of doing so."

because they'll be very few Democrats that will want a job with Traitor Joe.
