Lieberman working to make McConnell Majority Leader

[Joe Biden 2020]

Lieberman is one of the better Senators in the country.  But, sadly, he has put himself in a position where he only has 5 years 8 months left as a Senator.  There is no way, at least right now, that he will win re-election in 2012 should he decide to run.

I hope he doesn't switch parties, but if he does, more power to him.  He would be good in either party.  I personally like Majority Leader Reid, however.  Of course, I'm speaking as a Democrat.  Majority Leader Frist didn't do anything whatsoever, so I'm not too sure Majority Leader McConnell would do anything either.  Remember, McConnell was Frist's Whip and was part of the "do-nothing" Congress.

Technically, Mitch McConnell should be Majority Leader right now, as there are the count is actually 49-49-2.  The 2 independents are just caucusing with the Democrats, but its actually a tie in the Senate and thus should either have McConnell as Majority Leader or a Co-Majority and no-Minority.  Oh Well.

I don't think President Bush has really lost the Senate, as that is a razor thin majority by the Democrats and Vice President Cheney is still a major factor of the Senate and thus can break any ties.

Question:  Would he be doing this if he had he won the Democratic Primary a year ago?

I think he would

So, he's a DICO (Democrat in Caucusing Only), what of it?  That's the way he sees things, and that's fine with me.  Its okay with me if he ever decides to join the Republican party.
