No i dont think so. If Lieberman wasnt an issue to BO then why did he pull him aside in August in the senate and had "words" with him?

I think BO is trying to keep this issue at arms length. He is allowing the Dem Caucuses take the lead and they will vote to strip Lieberman from his chairmanship.

Steve Schmidt gave an interview yesterday about McCain's campaign and it is very revealing. Among other things, he said the party is basically regional now, has no message, he knew McCain was going to lose in late September. There is much more, you guys have to read it.

franklyn Commented on Reid: What Lieberman Did Was "Improper" And "Wrong" by Greg Sargent

2008-11-08T00:53:04Z

According to Nate (538.com), Ted Stevens lead is shrinking and he may lose in the recount. That would bring the senate seats to 58.

If that seat in GA goes blue and somehow Frankin wins his seat in MN that would be an awesome ending to this election cycle.

Remember when BO said "if they bring a knife to a fight we will bring a gun." Well does picking Rahm really that much of a surprise?

We had Joe the plumber and now BO has introduced us to Rahm the head banger.

LOL, the story in Newsweek about Gov Plain is hilarious. Apparently the McCain camp refers to her and her family privately as "Wasilla hillbillies."

I am watching Morning Joe on MSNBC and Pat and Joe are not giving BO any credit at all. It must be very painful for them realizing that a black man did what they failed (Pat) and wanted (Joe) to achieve.

Josh makes a good point on the homepage that the AP hasnt called GA because a whole bunch of early votes hasnt been counted. GA may flip both on the senate and pres level.

Nate of 538.com is looking like a genius right now. The only person news organizations will want to talk more to than him is BO.
