Re: Polls: GOP looks likely to keep Senate control - Santorum still Toast

I wonder what happens if it ends up 48R to 48D with two independents

if Lieberman wins?

Lieberman will switch to Democrat.

[Guest guest]

If it comes down to Democrats/Republicans 50/50 or Demcrats/Republicans 51/49, then Lieberman has outsized influence if vote on any bill is 50/49 (regardless of party affiliation) with Lieberman the tiebreaker. If Lieberman votes with the 49 group, it becomes 50/50 and tiebreaker goes to Cheney. If Lieberman votes with the 50 group, that group becomes 51 and Cheney's vote becomes irrelevant.

He will have potentially outsized influence in a numerically divided congress.

I was wondering more about who would be the heads of comittees with

no majority.

I think they have co-chairmen/women of committees.

Someone else might know more.

They vote for the leader and Bernie

will definitely vote for a Dem and probably so would Leiberman.

If in fact the senate goes 48r/48d with 2 independant senators then

the democrats will bribe a liberal republican to change parties like

they did with the senator from new hampshire a few years ago. He was

promised and recieved a powerful seat on the committee he wanted to be

on if he switched teams. since he had no loyalty to the voters who

had placed him in washington he had no problems taking this BRIBE.

Otherwise the committee chairs are held by the party of the sitting

president because the vice president does not just break ties with

voting he would break ties on control of the senate.

[Guest guest]

Ok, so it looks like its tied. Lieberman is independant, but Cheney

castes a tiebreaking vote.
