Just a question. If Lieberman wins, is he listed as Dem or Ind? And if so, does that reduce the number of Dem seats?

He'll still caucus with the dems, and has said so. It will be interesting if the Senate ends up 50/50 again though. Fitting justice if Lieberman remained independent a al Jeffords, giving the Republicans a 50/49 majority. You'd hear the loudest whine in political history from the Democrats. You'd see all the arguments Dems have made for the last six months shift 180 degrees overnight.

It'll reduce the Democrat seats, but it'll have no effect if he caucuses (and we know he will) with the democrats.
