1. But I don't have all the Democrats on every issue.

That stuck me as odd. He's including Lieberman in with the Dems. I suppose it's not completely out of line but still a bit off.

2. Read between the lines

Keith asked about taking away Joe's leadership positions, and Harry responds with "we have a very thin majority." What says to me is, "as soon as we get a bigger majority, bye bye Joe."

I hope I'm right.

5. I didn't realize he had a chairmanship anymore

Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs

I guess they're still ranking him for seniority within Dems. Huh.

[whistle]

4. Well that is mute now that Lieberman said he will become a republican

Lieberman willing to star at Republican convention

Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.), the Democratic Party’s 2000 vice presidential nominee, is leaving open the possibility of giving a keynote address on behalf of Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) at the Republican National Convention in September.

Republicans close to the McCain campaign say Lieberman’s appearance at the convention, possibly before a national primetime audience, could help make the case that the presumptive GOP nominee has a record of crossing the aisle. That could appeal to much-needed independent voters.

McCain has yet to ask Lieberman to speak, either in primetime or elsewhere, at the convention. But if McCain thinks it will help make his case for the White House, as some of his allies suspect, Lieberman would be willing to speak on his behalf.

“If Sen. McCain, who I support so strongly, asked me to do it, if he thinks it will help him, I will,” Lieberman said in a brief interview.

3. I don't understand why Keith
