Obama doesn't need Lieberman to get what he wants. Not all republicans are far right extreamists and there will always be a few moderate republicans who will vote with Obama. For instance there was a new moderate republican from Illinois elected to the Senate who knows and likes Obama personally.
The word of the day is "Bipartisanship" and I don't think any republican wants to be labled an obstructionist. Besides, Lieberman votes with the democrats on 90% of the issues and I really can't see than changing that much.
