Lieberman Quits Centrist Coalition, Starts New Group

Roll Call’s Emily Pierce reports:
Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-Conn.) has relinquished his position as co-chairman of the Senate Centrist Coalition, halting talks with co-chairwoman Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) over the future of the organization in favor of creating his own bipartisan group with Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.).
Interesting, although I’m not sure what to make of it. One wonders whether they will adopt plaid shirts as the official group uniform.

Maybe the prerequisite for joining is to have an exclamation point after your first name.
Lamar! and Joe!
Actually, I think Hillary! could also join.
I would think Lamar is a bit more centrist than Snowe.
Hopefully this is a precursor to a new political party, one that places conservative American values first.
Patrick T. McGuire - new party?
thats the ticket.
I'd join the Whigs to leave all the RINOsaurs behind.
