Scappy, you said exactly what I was thinking.
I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

Also, there's strong sentiment to kick Leiberman

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Punishingly Intricate
Biden may not resign from his position until after he's made veep, which would allow a Dem governor to replace him.
The current governor of DE is a Democrat. She's been a little on the outs with Biden or the party there though, according to my mom, so it may be that she won't appoint exactly who Biden and the rest of the party wants appointed. I can't remember all the ins and outs but I know Biden had been grooming his son Beau to replace him eventually. Now Beau is being deployed to Iraq until, I think, 2010. So I think Biden wants someone in who'd do it for a short time and then they'd hold a special election in which Beau can run for the seat. I may be wrong on a few details but the current and the gov-elect are both Dems.

If you feel the way about Lieberman that I do, of which no family-friendly rendering is possible, this might be a good time to put a call into your Senators - it looks like Reid is currently inclined to put the matter to a vote of the full Senate.
This is a committee with oversight over the executive, and for the past two years Joe found nothing - nothing! - worthy of even calling a hearing over, while Waxman in the House was at least attempting to take the Bush admin to task over some of the most blatant corruption since the Grant administration.
There's word about that one of the offers Reid made was for Lieberman to take over Veterans Affairs, on which he has a horrid record. But even that would be better than having him either continue his do-nothing attitude or, more likely in my opinion, have a change of heart and suddenly start throwing roadblocks out every time he thinks he's been not sufficiently pandered to.
This is a dangerously powerful position for someone who has demonstrated that he holds absolutely no respect or affiliation for the Democratic party. He needs to be sidelined, and he's earned it.

I really hope that having a bigger majority gives the Dems the balls to ask Leiberman to do some anatomically unlikely things.
