Lieberman Theory
I have seen a lot of angry people over Joe Lieberman staying part of the Democrats after his straight-faced betrayal of the Democrats by supporting John McCain and his neofascist running mate. But he's still here.

I think Lieberman was kept to ensure the Democrats have one more vote. Anybody that Obama could choose for the Democrats WILL get filibustered by the Republicans, and Lieberman's vote may end up being critical. Hence, he's still here. I think once Obama's SC nominations are confirmed and active, we'll see how things shape for Joe. I'll bet that ostracize him as much as they can.

1. But DOESN'T Ensure One Move Vote
LIEberman votes with the Republicans on cloture votes EVERY TIME!

2. Also, once he is in, it is very hard
to get him out. He will be a tool for the Republicans from now on and the Democrats asked for it...chumps...
