Is Lieberman Bending on Social Security?
Josh Marshall quotes John Harwood in the WSJ Washington Wire:<br>
PRESSURE RISES on Social Security.


A senior Bush adviser sees "ice breaking" around opposition of some Democrats to the administration plan. Fellow Democrats, chafing at Lieberman's flirtation with Bush, circulate his criticism of "risky private accounts" in the run-up to his 2004 presidential run.


Despite White House courting, Democratic Sen. Nelson of Nebraska is unlikely to embrace Bush's private-account plan, an associate predicts. House Democratic campaign committee seeks donations to fuel "caught-on-tape" drive to weaken Republican members by publicizing alleged flip-flops on the issue.


Plan B? Republicans insist Bush could "win" without legislation by hitting "anti-reform" Democrats.



So. Is it true?
Is Lieberman the ice-floe cracking?

Or is this just BS from the White House? Either way, wouldn't it be prudent to call Joe Lieberman and find out?

Yes, call Joe Lieberman Day has come and gone.  But really, isn't every day call Joe Lieberman Day, just a little bit?


As an aside, Josh notes that the power players in this fight are considering funding a primary challenger to Lieberman. Maybe you might want to mention that to Shaky Joe when you call.

(note: I know this is already posted...but this post contains extensive *new* information)

Lieberman has no excuses. This is something the party can't compromise on.
