The Hill suggests that Harry Reid is preparing to do what he’s been expected to do for months:
It was reported some time ago that Joe Lieberman was no longer attending weekly Democratic Senate lunches. You’d think the self-styled post-partisan Barack Obama would call on Harry Reid to guarantee Lieberman’s chairmanship to heal the rift. Of course, Obama doesn’t actually have much of a record of tolerating dissent in his own party: He earlier berated Senator Lieberman on the Senate floor for backing John McCain. That classy move was followed by his staff’s leaking false smears about Lieberman. This is an interesting preview of how the Democrats plan to follow through on their pledge to be even more “bipartisan” if they get complete control in Washington.
