Lieberman should go. If Harry does not make the move by Thanksgiving He should also go.

1. Nancy needs to go, too.

We have a great opportunity here. Let's not waste it on ineffective leadership.

[DB1]

2. I agree. There must be someone better than Nancy. Any suggestions?

4. Agreed. We Need To Send The Message That

representatives that vote politics over morality will not be tolerated by the party.

3. Did you see/sign the petition..

The Huffington Post is reporting that in their meeting today, Reid told Lieberman that he had to step down from his position as chair of the Homeland Security Committee if he remained in the Democratic Caucus. Lieberman did not accept this offer, which means that his only redress is to go around Reid and petition the Senate Democratic Steering and Outreach Committee to keep his seat.

We've watched for years as Joe called us traitors, lied his face off, stabbed Democrats in the back and did everything he could to keep Barack Obama out of the white house. Lieberman laundered smears that even McCain wasn't willing to launch himself.

No way.

Make no mistake about it -- Lieberman was openingly threatening the Democratic caucus in his press conference today. Enough is enough.

5. What claim does Hillary have on Senate Majority Leader?

Durbin and Murray are already higher up on the Senate food chain than Senator Clinton is.

Are are dozens of other Dem senators who've been there a lot longer than Clinton.

6. As it looks now, Joe will not only stay, he will get away clean

or mostly so - Turns out the Dems in the Senate NEED his vote since they are a few chairs short of a complete 60. They need the Independents Like Joe) and a few moderate Republicans, like Spector.
He will get a harsh talking-to and not much else.
