Well, they didn't exactly adore him in this past election. Most of his colleagues asked him to stay out of the race and let Lamont win.
Of course, now that he is the one vote keeping the Democrats in control of the Senate, old Joe suddenly has a lot of friends. Harry Reid is wearing out his kneepads these days.
If you hang around Internet slums like Daily Kos and DU, you'll see that nearly half of his party dislikes him intensely.
LOL -- I never check those sites, so I will happily take your word.
They would have much preferred Ned Lamont, but Joe has been welcomed back with open arms by his fellow democrat senators.
