DaddyD Commented on Leahy Becomes First Senator To Demand Lieberman's Ouster From Homeland Security Committee by Greg Sargent

Can anyone come up with a compelling reason why the Dems would want to keep Lieberman in his current chairmanship position?

I have yet to hear THAT explanation from anyone, anywhere.

I understand and agree with Lehey's principled argument, but in the end, that isn't the basis upon which most senators will make their decision. There will be pragmatic political considerations, those considerations will win the day.

That said, I do not understand how Leiberman has as much pull with this issue as he seems to have. IMO, he's a paper tiger. Dems are not likely to get 60 votes in the Senate, even with Leiberman, so, what difference does his one vote make? Not much. And, does anyone really believe that Leiberman would enjoy voting with the Republicans on social issues? My guess is there is more to this than anyone has reported on yet. Why would some Dems even want to keep him happy - what's the benefit? Just because they like him? Bullshit. That's not what's going on here. There is something happening behind the scenes that's not being reported on - guaranteed.

I hope he finds some degree of comfort in knowing she's now at peace. But, man, one cannot deny how particularly sad the timing is. Thoughts and prayers to the Obama family.
