Joe Lipstick Has “Superdelegate” Status Stripped Because of McCain Endorsement.


Hat tip to Firedoglake:

Mark Pazniokas:
Thanks to Zell Miller, there is a rule to deal with Joe Lieberman.
Lieberman's endorsement of Republican John McCain disqualifies him as a super-delegate to the Democratic National Convention under what is informally known as the Zell Miller rule, according to Democratic State Chairwoman Nancy DiNardo.
Miller, then a Democratic senator from Georgia, not only endorsed Republican George Bush four years ago, but he delivered a vitriolic attack on Democrat John Kerry at the Republican National Convention.
The Democrats responded with a rule disqualifying any Democrat who crosses the aisle from being a super delegate. Lieberman will not be replaced, DiNardo said.

It will be interesting to see if they will vote him in next election. This could be his last term.

Now Joe has made it clear he is a Republican and used the CT. voters to get in by tricking them. You can bet someone in Ct. is looking up the rules on how to get a dishonest Senator out of office. Joe might see his career end early but there's always lobbying work for an old crook, ask Lott/Thompson and others.
