7. I wonder who that might be
what Connecticut repug do they think could get enough votes to hold the seat in '06?

I hope they don't go get Alan Keyes.

8. If Lieberman is appointed, we are all screwed
I think its a setup. If Lieberman is the new Homeland Security head, expect a terror attack within a year. That way, Bush can make an even more agressive power grab AND he can blame Democrats for the attack.

9. I disagree...I hope he gets offered the position and takes it...
...that way Conneticut can vote in a "REAL" democrat the next election. I couldn't care less if the seat is held by a republican for a couple of years, we're not close to 50-50 anyway, and Joe was a DINO anyway.
