What to do about Lieberman?

I hate to say it, since all of my instincts are that Joe Lieberman should be tossed out of the Democratic caucus by the Senate. However, I learned during this campaign that we need "to to disagree without being disagreeable." Despite Lieberman's 180 degree turn today when sugar would melt in his mouth as he praised Barack Obama. I think that, on balance Senator Lieberman should maintain his seniority in the Democratic caucus in the expectation that he will, on most matters, oppose the inevitable filibusters which will seek to stall the Obama program.

75 days to go and things will get better. On terrible economic news, the Dow plunged 443 today on top of 486 yesterday. Better to hit bottom before rather than after Barack takes over. On the international front Russia is saber rattling. What a welcome for the President-elect. I am just waiting for the Obama rally in the stock market which will start once everybody realizes that things are different and this is a new day. So far no missteps by Barack. He will exceed expectations.
