How much help did Liberman really give us with the Jewish vote?
Despite his more liberal social positions, this actually makes sense in the bigger picture sense—esp if the Obama administration moves to frosten relations with Israel and Eastern European nations in favor of “restoring our reputation” with the rest of the world... He’s still got four years before he would stand for re-election, and as popular as he is (beating Lamont and the no name pubbie in the last election), I’d say he’d be able to get re-elected. We need all the help we can get, esp since there’s virtually no conservative democrats left in the upper chamber that we can pick off on key votes..
