Help me out here....

Doesn't this mean that the Senate is now composed of 2 Independents; 49 DemocRATS; and 49 Republicans? Since the Vice President cas't the "tiebreaking" vote...does this now mean that the Republicans control the Senate?

Personally, I look for the RAT Jeffords to make the switch fully to DemocRAT late this week.

That breakdown wouldn't change the committee ratios. For those to change, per S. Res. 8, one of the parties would have to have a majority of the whole number of Senators.
