I think Lieberman is crazy for supporting McCain, but I don't think he should be kicked out of the Democratic caucus next year. The Senate is not a place where you cannot afford to lose a single vote.
No mystery why Reid is "fond" of Lieberman. He's the Senate Majority Leader and needs Lieberman to be part of the majority.
I have to confess that I think his vote is his most appealing feature.
