On Lieberman

A new article from Salon speculates about Joe Liberman's post-election role.

Joe Lieberman has gone to some pretty far lengths on behalf of John McCain this year, but even for him, this past Sunday morning must have been tough. As Lieberman shepherded his pal through a "virtual town hall" teleconference with Jewish supporters, McCain found himself defending — as he often does these days — his running mate, Sarah Palin. At one point he decided to toss the question to Lieberman: "I'd love for Joe to — are you still there Joe? — weigh in on this, because he's been to a lot of the rallies," McCain said. "Go ahead, Joe."
