"The liberals are in charge of the Senate now"
McCain's in charge of the Senate now. He figured out that he was never going to take over the Republican caucus, so now he's chairing a "center"/left alliance.
Today's deal shows that Bill Frist has no control over the Senate. McCain is calling the shots.
I'm starting to wonder if he might pull a third party stunt in 2008.
Only if Hillary REALLY needs him to.
