With Whom Will Lieberman Caucus?

Ed Morrissey comments on remarks made by Joseph Lieberman on Meet the Press that he would not rule out caucusing with Republicans. While some Democrats may accuse Lieberman of disloyalty (an odd charge given their treatment of him), the fact is that this is a position that Lieberman has to take if he is to retain any influence in Washington. Lieberman is in effect warning Democrats not to freeze him out from all work on important committees in the Senate.

When Congress convenes, Lieberman will almost certainly be caucusing with the Democrats.
