The subject line says it all. But, let me connect the dots.
"I know that some in the party have differences with Joe," Senator Obama said, all but silencing the crowd. "I'm going to go ahead and say it. It's the elephant in the room. And Joe and I don't agree on everything. But what I know is, Joe Lieberman's a man with a good heart, with a keen intellect, who cares about the working families of America."
Then, with applause beginning to build, he finished the thought: "I am absolutely certain that Connecticut's going to have the good sense to send Joe Lieberman back to the United States Senate."
Oh, if irony

How much better it would have been for us to have the Democratic Party rally around the Democratic Party nominee, Ned Lamont. But no. It rallied behind Lieberman, who now is the thorn in their sides.
Especially, Obama's side.
If the expression
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer has merit, Obama should move Lieberman into the White House, down the hall from him and Michelle. And, with the Democratic leadership incapable of party discipline (the
wuss factor), Obama's only term is going to be fascinating to watch. :popcorn:
I was about to call this
tragic, rather than
fascinating, but the tragedy is when one realizes that all the hope of a new direction, which the American people were expecting, will not occur. Obama had a mandate for change, but chose the status quo and to continue Bush's mistakes rather than give us the change we could believe in. As the first year of Obama's term comes to a close and we can see how he will govern, the tragedy is the realization that the
hope monger himself, who worked so hard to gain the office, threw it all away.
