story stated the known facts,Lieberman has all but become a Republican. Nobody but the two senators know what they discussed in the well. Writer didnt speculate,left it to the readers imagination. Fair ,informative article.

It is encouraging to read of Obama actively confronting the democratic party's Judas, and in his preferred method, by having talks with those you disagree with. There is a parallel problem not addressed here, which is the deference of both parties and candidates to the totalitarian and Armageddon-ish agenda of the AIPAC within the US government and military.

Too much Lieberman and not enough Obama. We learn of Lieberman's position but we don't get much information on Obama's reasoning. The article skims the surface.

I don't like the anonymous "one Demoncratic Source" quote,. I tis not necessary to the story and takes away from its crediblity. But other than that, I see the story as informative and fair.

Interesting in that it shows Obama taking Lieberman to task for his support of McCain. The growing tension between Lieberman and the Democratic party is highlighted, particularly when it comes to foreign policy, and vote on the bill declaring Iran's Revolutionary Guard (a monumental mistake IMHO). Lieberman's support for McCain is threatening to draw him completely away from the Democratic party.
