8. He didn't do this for our side
He did it because he knows that he would have burned his last bridge here, and was going to walk across that flaming log to stand on a sinking ship full of people who would never really accept him there either.

I give him no credit for saying NO to something which we all know no real democrat would ever have been offered to begin with.

9. True ... but at least we keep a Senate seat.
So whatever his reasons - no matter how selfish - I'm happy he said no. :-)

13. You know what he was thinking?

Wow.

He's damned if he does and he's damned if he doesn't. If he does the wrong thing, he gets dogged out. If he does the right thing, he gets dogged out.

Why not give him credit for doing the right thing instead of trashing him?

Then Lieberman you get no passes. Stop kissing up to them.
