If anything clarifies the divergent party control btwg republicans and democrats these days is by what they do with dissidents.

Take Lincoln Chafee. If anybody can be said to be a maverick is this guy. Chafee enjoys the full faith and credit of the GOP but hardly can be counted on when the chips are down with almost every issue crucial to the base.

While Liberman in other hand, gets out of step on one issue and is sayonara, we hardly knew ye. Unless done in by scandal or indictment, I can’t think of anyone getting thrown under the bus by one of the majors on account of a single issue like this.

If republican retain control (and Joe wins) we should lobby for a chairmanship for Joe.
