More on the Obama Lieberman talk.

The WaPo has a piece on Lieberman "savoring life" in his efforts to get a Republican president. Two bits on the conflict of Lieberman promoting McCain (attacking Obama.)
Lieberman's outspoken advocacy for John McCain's GOP presidential candidacy crossed a line this week, prompting Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) and Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) to corral the 2000 Democratic vice presidential nominee into pointed face-to-face discussions.

Lieberman went beyond simply promoting McCain's candidacy on Wednesday. He joined a conference call in which Republicans attacked Obama's position on Iran moments after the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee had delivered a foreign policy address to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.

On page 2, there's another description of the spirited talk between Obama and Lieberman on the Senate floor. Nothing new.
