Bill Clinton's been making the rounds. On Larry King last night, he had this to say about Lieberman:

I don't have the same view of this as some people do. My view is Connecticut is an unmitigated blessing for the Democrats because Lieberman has said if he wins he's going to vote with us to organize the Senate. I'm interested in getting one of these houses back, because that's the only way, I think, we can move away from the philosophical and political and economic direction the country has taken in the last five years. So I'm doing what I can to help the Democrats win the House and the Senate or both.

There's been a lot of this discussion around--either way we win in Connecticut by keeping the seat in Democratic hands. Despite the fact that we have absolutely no assurance that Lieberman will live up to his pledge to caucus with the Democrats, there's this from the LamontBlog to consider:

In a hypothetical world where the Democrats take control of the Senate in November, Sen. Lieberman wins due to massive GOP turnout, and he deigns to caucus with the Democrats, he may very well become Chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. He already owes zero allegiance to Democrats, whose clear verdict he discarded after the primary, and who will have voted in even greater numbers against him in the general. But he would owe a hell of a lot to Republican lobbyists, Republican elected officials, Republican voters, Republican fundraisers, neoconservative ideologues, Karl Rove, and people like the chairman of Scooter Libby's Defense Fund, who are currently keeping his campaign afloat, keeping his ads on the air, keeping his staffers paid.

The Committee he is in a position to become chair of, Homeland Security and Govermental Affairs, has some pretty important oversight issues, as noted in The Hill:

The issue of Lieberman's seniority would arise most dramatically if Lieberman wins re-election and Democrats recapture control of the chamber. That would slot Lieberman to take over as chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, the panel primarily responsible for investigating the executive branch.... Allowing Lieberman to retain his seniority could put the senator now running as an independent in charge of the Senate's chief investigative committee. If Democrats took control of either chamber they would likely launch investigations of the White House's handling of the war in Iraq and homeland security.

Just sayin'.
