Lieberman's last stand?

By Libby

Would have loved to be a fly on the wall for this conversation.

While it was unclear what the two were discussing, the body language suggested that Obama was trying to convince Lieberman of something and his stance appeared slightly intimidating.

Using forceful, but not angry, hand gestures, Obama literally backed up Lieberman against the wall, leaned in very close at times, and appeared to be trying to dominate the conversation, as the two talked over each other in a few instances.

Still, Obama and Lieberman seemed to be trying to keep the back-and-forth congenial as they both patted each other on the back during and after the exchange.

Afterwards, Obama smiled and pointed up at reporters peering over the edge of the press gallery for a better glimpse of their interaction.

Long overdue public spanking of Holy Joe. I can't think of much that would be better for the Democratic party than banishing him from the inner circle.

There's no middle ground in this election and Joe's made his choice clear enough. It's time he either recants his support, or picks up his tin cup and joins his organ grinder McCain on the Bumbling Bus to Oblivion full time.
