What are all the anti-war Democrats going to do if Senator Lieberman gets the Democratic nomination?

Another interesting article about the schism in the Democratic ranks:

Did I say I was surprised? Just pointing out that nominating Lieberman, who does have a realistic chance that the Democratic Party nomination, would have both major party candidates in favor of the war in Iraq. A bitter irony for anti-war Democrats methinks if it happens.

Don't have a link handy but saw on TV where Congress is revisiting the Patriot Act to "soften" it up. As far as Congress voting for war, Dean wasn't a party to it. Kerry was but he's ignoring how he voted. Not sure about Gephardt's status.
