Call Harry Reid!

[BobRossi]

"Thursday could very well be judgment day for Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.).

He is scheduled to meet with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), to discuss his future in the Senate Democratic Conference, according to Roll Call, a newspaper covering Capitol Hill.

Lieberman not only aggressively campaigned for Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain but also delivered a speech for him at the GOP convention. That is why many Senate Democrats are pressuring Reid to come down on Lieberman, Roll Call reports.

While some Democrats want to strip Lieberman of his Homeland Security Committee chairmanship, kick him out of the party caucus or both, what will happen depends on how badly Democrats need Lieberman to reach the 60-vote threshold required to block Republican filibusters, the Associated Press reports.

Lieberman serves as Chairman of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, a position that Reid could take away from him, Roll Call reports. In 2000, Lieberman was the vice presidential nominee for the Democratic Party.

As his future with the party is in limbo, Lieberman issued a statement congratulating president-elect Barack Obama Wednesday.

"I sincerely congratulate President-elect Obama for his historic and impressive victory. America remains a nation of extraordinary opportunity and the American people are a people of extraordinary fairness," Lieberman wrote."

2. Will he vote against Dems?

If so, he must go. Could he be useful, though disgusting, on important votes? We don't need a veto-proof majority thanks FSM, but a filibuster-proof one IS needed.

3. Why we don't need Joe

Even Republicans don't vote strictly along party lines, and even if they get 42 senators it will be unlikely they can count on 40 to go along for the ride.

Joe can go to hell.
