Lieberman will caucus with the Dems, giving them a majority, in fact I wouldnt be surprised if he switches back to D after the election.
Lieberman has a more liberal voting record over the course of his Senate career than Harry Reid. He is ONLY a moderate on Iraq and War on Terrorism issues due to his conservative Judaism. At every campaign appearance he has reiterated that he will caucus with the Democrats if elected. I do not expect him to change his mind unless the Dems stripped him of Seniority. If the Senate was 49-49-2, the Dems would NOT strip Lieberman of seniority. I see no scenario where the Dems would stip him and give the Republicans another vote.
Lieberman will, he is still very much a dem, but Steele is going to win in Maryland and Burns will hang on in Montana. I'm more worried that Allen will lose Virginia (he won't) than Ford will win Tenn (he won't).
Steele wins Maryland
Burns keeps his seat
Corker wins Tennessee
Allen squeaks by in Virginia
Talent keeps Missouri
Senate: R 52, D 48 (includes Lieberman and Socialist Sanders)
Lieberman said he was going to caucus with the dems. Why would a republican vote for him anyway? He is using the republicans for money and votes and if he wins he will run right back to the demoncraps.I think the money and votes should go to OUR guy. Casting a vote for Lieberman is assuring a closer and more than likely democrat victory. It's crazy.
There isnt any dopubt of that in my miond or the minds of Democrats. Of course Leiberman will be a Democrat.
