Maybe Lieberman Will Come Back To The Dems

Why do I think so? Because he's been touted as a likely replacement for Rummy as Secretary of Defense only to discover he ain't gettin' the job. Its going to Robert Gates.

Personally, I wish he had gotten the job. I think he might have been good at it and it would have gotten him out of the Senate.

I still don't like the idea of Lieberman's weilding exceptional power in the Senate. If one other Dem Senator sides with the Repugs, Lieberman becomes an 800 pound gorilla.

Being said huge simian would mean, of course, the Dem leadership would court him like a guy with his own ice cream shop.
