1. Dem party thinks/hopes all but repug 'base'

would be willing to vote Indep, and then that this one would caucus w Dems in the Senate?

2. He has said he would consider both parties but I imagine since the Democratic candidate

dropped out they have an understanding. I think he was a member at one time of the Democratic Party.
