Webb won't vote to pull Lieberman, having done the same sort of thing.

He's campaigned for plenty of Republicans in the past, and badmouthed plenty of Democrats.

Except Zell Miller doesn't agree with Democrats on 90% of the issues.

unfortunately, Lieberman will probably use his committee chairmanship to launch endless, pointless investigations of the Obama administration, much like what happened to Clinton in the 90s.

I disagree.

I disagree.

on what grounds?

Lieberman needs Obama.  If Obama had turned against him, he'd have likely lost his Chairmanship.  If he starts attacking Obama, then he loses his Chairmanship in 2011, and reelection in 2012.  Joe will do what's best for Joe.

no doubt then that his liberal, 60%+ Obama-voting constituents were thrilled that he went campaigning with McCain and lauded Sarah Palin at the RNC! I absolutely fail to see how the latter could possibly be in his best interests.

It wasn't; perhaps he was banking on a Cabinet job when McCain won.  Now, though, he needs to support Obama.

Excellent news.  I couldn't be happier with this decision.
