Obama wants Lieberman to stay with Senate Dems

Harry Reid got phone from the President-Elect to keep Lieberman. I really hate Lieberman, but Obama has a good point. It would send the wrong message to kick him out.

WASHINGTON – President-elect Obama has told Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid he's not interested in seeing Democrats oust Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman from their ranks over his endorsement of Republican John McCain.

Obama told Reid in a phone conversation last week that expelling Lieberman from the Democratic caucus would hurt the message of bipartisanship and unity that he wants for his new administration, a Senate Democratic aide said Tuesday. This aide spoke on condition of anonymity because the discussions were confidential.
