Lieberman's a What?

Last Friday I wrote that Lieberman was going to be the "real Wild card".

Reports are coming out that he has stated he will vote to fillibuster the Health Care Reform Bill as it currently stands. Referencing that he wants no publicloption what so ever.

It appears this may have been the fight the White House wanted to avoid if the reports are to be believed. This is my guess on how this plays out. If Lieberman votes for the fillibuster he may well have two or three conservative Democrats follow suit, if he falls in line so will they. The concern I have re: Lieberman is the Democrats have limited leverage on him. It appears to limited to his commitee chairmanship. The other Democrats are still beholden to the party in some fashion. Lieberman lost the parties nomination and had to run as an Independant.

This is but one more wrinkle to watch.

Here are my comments regarding Lieberman last November read them and judge for yourself.
