He'll either stay in the Dem caucus and lose his chairmanship, or he'll go caucus with the GOP and lose his office in 2012.

Strip him of his chairmanship and publically humiliate him, he beefs... tell him you reap what you sow.

he doesn't want to be forgiven, and frankly, he IS an independent now, so he can do whatever he wants. blame the people of CT for reelecting him anyways. i think he should be stripped of any power, and told if he doesn't caucus with the Democrats, they'll remove him from the Senate for being a traitor.

or um, just the first thing...

I can't stand Obama. BUT I have to say if the roles were reversed....I would do away with him without thinking twice about it.

Lieberman has proved himself to be a jinx. If you are running for office, don't let Lieberman come close to you for miles. He will make you lose. He did it to Gore, and now to McCain.

Send him to tour the South forever with Pastor Hagee in a never-ending Holy Salvation revival tent show.

As much as Democrats despise the man for not just endorsing McCain, but also supporting the down ticket in Congressional races as well. He isn't going anywhere for now.

Even still, they will probably give him a chair on some committee like, "Partnership with the American Kennel Club", since the Senate seats are so close and Democrats are not about to turn their backs on a single Senate vote.

Put his name in a box and bury it in the backyard then shun him as if he didn't even exist.
