1. I ain't buyin' it

Virginia's not a done deal yet, either.

I remember 2000 way too well.

3. according to CBS -VA 2407 of 2411 precincts declared - Webb leads by 8K

and MT is having a recount but by all accounts it's in the bag because Yellowstone's original result stands.

4. I don't trust the media to say it's over

Little trick I learned six years ago.

2. Not yet. It's tied

I hinges on Montana and Virginia.

5. VA is done.

Webb's lead is only widening, minimizing the chance of a recount by the minuite.
Montana--he has the lead, and the link I provided is to the county in particular they want to recount.
He is WAY ahead.

6. Tend to agree...

I am thinking that calling the Senate lost to the GOP is pretty reasonable now, even though there are two races that are still being described as "too close to call."

My question though, is where Joe Lieberman belongs. I am sure he has an axe to grind with his former party colleagues. Sure he is counted as a democrat for caucus purposes but he's hardly going to be reliable, and even if Montana and Virginia both go the right way, Lieberman will be just about the most powerful man in the country with a casting vote on everything. He is probably going to be more powerful in the new senate than he would have been if he'd become VP in 2000.

Or am I out of my tree?

7. Nope, you have a good point.

I believe that a coward like Lieberman will side where the power is, which at the moment is the Dems.
I don't know, though..he could still be a serious problem.

[Oeditpus Rex]

8. He'll be the most popular, anyway

Which might be what he had in mind all along.
