Senate Democrats have voted to allow Joseph Lieberman to keep his chairmanship of the powerful Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee - despite his support for John McCain and criticism of Barack Obama during the presidential race.
Lieberman's punishment for what many Democrats saw as an unacceptable betrayal: He� will lose his seat on the Environment and Public Works Committee.
The vote on Lieberman's fate came in a closed-door session in which� Lieberman, members of the Democratic Senate leadership and some current and soon-to-be-senators all spoke.
Sources who were inside the meeting said Lieberman did not apologize for supporting McCain during the campaign, but that he did say he was sorry for some of the statements he made about Obama.
