And you figure if he decided not to vote with the Dems, but stayed independent, that still gives the Dems. the Senate by a 50-49 vote. Remember when Jeffords left the Republican party, it gave the Dems. a 50-49 advantage and control.
Any DINO senators who could switch to the Repubs?
Are there any conservative or moderate Democrats left?
Ben Nelson from NE would be the only one I can think of as he votes with the Republicans more then the DemocRATs.
No DINO senators will switch to repub that I know of. I'm sure Lieberman will be more independent minded than before, but with dems in charge, he will probably vote with them most of the time to keep his issues from getting flushed.
