Re: Wednesday Open Thread (none / 1)

I thought Rahm was a DLC guy who was in the tank for Lieberman during the CT primary and has had his back ever since.

Rahm will take his overall direction from Obama. He will have some influence on Obama, but Obama himself is very strong minded. That said, Rahm seems to be someone who knows how to do business with a knife, a la LBJ's definition of a politician.

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."

Everybody was in the tank for Lieberman during the primary, but I don't think anybody really had Lieberman's back openly after the primary with the possible exception of a few close friends. Once he'd lost the primary, everybody either bailed or kept their mouths shut.

Be nice to America. Or we'll bring democracy to your country.
