The Democrats were way too easy on Joe Lieberman. He should have been stripped of his chairmanship. This guy doesn't know what he stands for - one minutes he's a Democrate, the next an Independent, and the next he's a Republican. I certainly hope the people of Connecticut wise up an dump this guy the next time around.
