Why in the world does this take ANY steam out of efforts to get Lieberman out of his chairmanship? Only if the Dems in the Senate continue to be spineless worms, as they have been unnecessarily for the last two years. Obama said that he doesn't take a position on the chairmanship. He said that he is willing to work with anyone. That means even Repugnicans. Even Lieberman, for gods' sakes. It doesn't mean that Lieberman gets to keep the keys to the kingdom. Grow a spine. Dems control the White House and both houses of Congress. They don't have to throw up their hands and mewl in fear every time Repugs (or quasi-Repugs like Lieberman) say "boo." I'm so sick of this shit. The Repugs are STILL running the country.
