Politico: Since Joe Lieberman, an Independent, has take positions opposing the public option and the Medicare buy-in, he's taking the heat off moderate Democrats. Blanche Lincoln ought to thank him. "They won't say it, but Joe is preventing them from taking a series of tough votes," said this Lieberman ally. "If I'm Blanche Lincoln, I'd consider converting to Judaisim just to thank Joe Lieberman for what he did for me."

What about it, Blanche?
