Lieberman Keeps His Seat

At 42-13 it wasn't even a close vote.

I understand that every vote is important when in the filibuster happy Senate you need 60 votes on virtually everything. The problem is that you also need party loyalty. Party loyalty is how you actually get to 60 votes because while many votes follow party lines they aren't strict party lines. Lieberman has proven he is a party of one. Elections have consequences, unless you happen to be named Joe Lieberman.

It would be interesting if one of the 42 would explain where exactly that line of too far is. I would have thought that questioning the patriotism of your party's leader would have been it.
