Sen. Joe Lieberman, who endorsed Sen. John McCain for president and campaigned vigorously for him, will be disqualified as a superdelegate at the Democratic convention under what is informally known as the Zell Miller rule. In 2004, Miller — then a Democratic senator from Georgia — attacked Sen. John Kerry in a speech at the Republican National Convention. The DNC responded with a rule disqualifying any Democrat who crosses the aisle from being a super delegate.
So Joe’s out as a super-delegate. Any guess which political convention he’ll be attending (and speaking at?) this summer? I think it’s a safe bet that following the November election Lieberman won’t be caucusing with the Senate Democrats.
