He deserves nothing. He allowed Palin free reign to fire up the crazies, who chanted threats on Obama's life. Why is he meeting with McCain at all? There should be limits to Obama's inclusiveness. Some people just need to be left out of the loop. Lieberman? He needs to go NOW. He just shoved sh** on the Dems for years. Ed LaMont should have been Senator for Conn., not Mr. sore loser, Joe the Independent. I have said for years he should become a republican. That party suits him just fine.

I hope he does not offer him Anything!!! The meeting in my dreams would be Obama telling him politely it is time to Retire.

This may be a very interesting meeting.

John McCain is above all a politician. He had to be aware that the Conservatives in the Republican threw him under the bus when he suspended his campaign , and they took off on a rant leaving their Presidential Candidate standing on his own, and looking quite the fool. It seemed that Joe Lieberman was the only person standing by him.

Now the Republicans are working to overturn through the courts Senator McCain's legacy legislation,the McCain-Feingold act.

Could Mr. McCain be meeting with Mr. Obama to negotiate Mr. Lieberman maintaining a status quo position. In return, Mr McCain might be able to offer a filibuster proof senate with his vote.

Probably not, but it's interesting to think about.

Why would you have such ill will towards Joe?

[SERGIOUK]

I thought he was going to offer her Foreign Affairs. "I CAN SEE AFRICA FROM MY IGLOO AND ITS A MIGHTY FINE COUNTRY!".

Inevitable meeting: Treaty of Surrender has to be signed, not so?

[super]

"talks ... on ways they can cooperate on an array of troublesome issues facing the country" - like who will flush down Judas Lieberman.

[NeoLiberal]

BHO could offer him a relatively high profile post--Sec. of Def. if he's not keeping Gates, or Sec. of Veterans Affairs.

not in this life time
