(This version CORRECTS by DELETING Merkley from lawmakers who opposed Lieberman; Merkley did NOT oppose Lieberman.)

Hillary Votes To Let Lieberman Stay As Homeland Security Chair

By Greg Sargent - November 18, 2008, 2:28PM

We hear from a Hill source that Hillary was one of the 42 Senators who voted for the resolution condemning Lieberman but allowing him him to stay as Homeland Security chair.

We're still trying to determine who the 13 who voted against Lieberman keeping the chairmanship are. Current tally:

For: Senators Clinton, Kerry, Durbin, Tom Udall, and Cardin.

Against: Senators Leahy, Sanders and Merkley.

More in a bit.

3. Sanders is in the Democratic caucus?

Seems like I heard where as an independent, he may vote with the Dems but is not part of the caucus. He has condemned Loserman but I didn't think he could vote.

4. Well, Lieberman is an independent and votes with the caucus and so is Sanders

except Sanders really means it.

6. He organizes with the caucus. he gets committee assignments from the dems

and yes he gets to vote with the dem caucus.

As have Sanders and Leahy.
