Lieberman will caucus with the Democrats just as Jumpin' Jim Jeffords did when he became an independent.

He has made no secret of the fact that he will caucus with the Dems.

Joe is not only an independent but a "petitioning Democrat"
He will rejoin the Ds after his victory.

Lieberman announced early on that he would caucus with the Democrats, just as Jim Jeffords once caucused with the Democrats causing the Republicans to lose control.
I wonder if any more like Jeffords are waiting to capture their 15 minutes of fame should the either the house or senate become more evenly divided tomorrow.
Ugly, that could be.

I have not heard anyone discuss the effect that Liebermans' win will have on make-up and ultimate control of Senate. As an independent candidate what is the result when he wins his seat. Does that not remove 1 seat from the Dem side? Would they not then have to win 8 seats? Thanks for the vanity. It all depends on how he votes for leadership positions, etc.; if he votes like a 'rat, for all intents and purposes he'll be a 'rat. If it's a 50/50 Senate (or even 51/49 either way), don't be too surprised to see the GOP make Lieberman an offer of a nice committee assignment to jump parties, however.

If the Dems score 50 seats, Lieberman will caucus with them and give them control. He can also get a nice Chairmanship for this move.
If the Dems score more than 50 seats, Lieberman will caucus with them and hold onto his seniority and get a decent Chairmanship and nice committee appointments.
If the Dems score less than 50 seats, then he has more incentive to caucus with Republicans, but will still likely caucus with the Dems.
If there is a miracle and the Dems do not score a pickup, Lieberman may stick it to his party and caucus with the Republicans for a good committee selection.

Lieberamn is stilla democRAT. He has not resigned from the party. He is not presently the party's candidate for Senator.
Once 'RAT always a 'RAT

The MSM doesn't forecast a Lieberman win. It's not in their template.
