Dorgan: Senate Dems Will Decide Tuesday On Lieberman

On FOX News Sunday, Byron Dorgan affirmed that senate Democrats would decide Tuesday whether Joe Lieberman should be rewarded with the homeland security committee chairmanship after his support for Republicans during the 2008 campaign.

As a chairman of one of our significant committees in the Senate, not just going off and supporting a presidential candidate of the other side but also criticizing the candidate on our side, and also involving himself in a couple of senate races on the other side. The question is, is that acceptable? The answer is no.

...

I was concerned and was upset about what happened earlier this year, but you know what, we turn the page, we'll make a decision about that on Tuesday.

Dorgan added that kicking Lieberman out of the caucus was not on the table. Here's video:
