I know that the Democratic leadership is giving Lieberman a few days to think over his primary loss and the subsequent flocking of his previous backers to the new official nominee. But they've got to talk to him eventually, and I think they need to make clear that if he insists on running in the general as an Independent, he'll lose the committee assignments that he currently holds as a member of the Democratic party -- that Homeland Security spot, in particular, shouldn't be trusted to somebody off on a bender. Now's the time to let your elected officials know what you think about the distribution of privileges.

I suspect Lieberman knows he will receive a Republican position if he breaks the Democrats in Conn.
You may be right. A number of prominent Republicans are now contributing to his campaign. However, as long as he retains his Democratic party registration, I guess he's eligible for his committee seats et al. Very strange.
