Joe Lieberman does not have a secret plan.

A New Republic blogger argues that Lieberman doesn't really know what he is doing.

"I think one answer here is that Lieberman isn't actually all that smart. He speaks, and seems to think, exclusively in terms of generalities and broad statements of principle. But there's little evidence that he's a sharp or clear thinker, and certainly no evidence that he knows or cares about the details of health care reform."
