So Lincoln, Landrieu and both Nelsons are finally on board - that really only leaves Lieberman. |
|
We need to focus a huge unbearable amount of pressure on him and if (when) he screws us make it clear that he's served his last term in public office and we're running him out of the Senate in 2012.

2. Lierberman is already on board for todays vote. It's the next vote (to cut off debate and actually |
|
vote on the bill) that Lieberman will fillibuster with the Reps.

4. Don't know but the debate has shifted to the Senate now so he's really not so important now. |

Last night Reid mentioned his being away. And I just tuned into the news and C-Span, so I was unaware if Baucus was mentioned again this morning.

9. I've heard several of the "experts" say they don't think Lieberman wants |
|
to run again -- that he has nothing to lose in that regard, so he'll do whatever he wants. Just their opinions, but they may be right... :shrug:
