Steve Benen does a fine job summing up what most of us from a liberal persuasion are likely to think of Sen. Joe Lieberman's departure from the Senate.
If I were to think of some of the more damaging things he's done, I'd have to include his negative role during the Health Care debate where as Steve rightly says, "...Lieberman was chiefly responsible for killing the public option..."
I guess the only thing I'd add is, does anyone think if Gore had picked a better VP candidate in 2000 -- say, Sen. Graham from Fla. (or let's face it, anyone else) -- that the results might've been a bit different? We're not talking huge numbers here.
