I feel dumber than a sack of rocks. This never occured to me. Ventura is not interested in helping the Democratic party.. Ventura is not in helping the Republican party.. Ventura and Barkley are interested in helping the REFORM PARTY
That means he can't caucus with the Democrats or he would be a DEMOCRAT... He can't caucus with the Republicans or he would be a REPUBLICAN.
He has to vote that the REFORM party control the Senate. Don't the rules say a tie and the VP decides. Surely the winner only needs a tie and the VP not 51 votes or a 50/50 and VP.
HUMMM If that be the case then the votes are 49 Democrat... 49 Repubican and 1 Reform... HMMMM I guess V.P. Cheney will have to decide who is in control.
Then BARKLEY will attack the Republicans if Coleman wins and the Democrats if Mondale wins... Barkley will be trying to make enough of an impact so he MIGHT BE ABLE TO WIN THE SENATE OR GOVERNORS OFFICE AS A REFORM CANDIDATE.
