Are 61 Dem senators possible? And if so . . .

. . . would that mean 100% chance of Joe "Kiss of Death" LIEberman getting booted out of the party?

And would the Repigs even want him?

[iceman66]

1. I sure hope so!

And I don't think the Repugs would even want him - all he really has in common with them is warmongering. Also, he is closely linked to McCain, whom the remaining Repugs will be trying to distance themselves from.

2. like all traitors they are trusted by neither side.

and he was even kicked out of the Connecticut for Lieberman Party.

3. Don't count on it

It seems unlikely after reading Nate's analysis, but we can hope for coattails.

4. Karma needs to bite him in the ass, bigtime.

5. It would mean a few upset wins--Martin, Musgrave and Lunsford

would all have to win, and assuming we get Franken, Begich, Hagan, Udall and Udall, Shaheen, Merkley, and Warner, it would come down probably to TX (Noriega).

6. I think at this stage it's unlikely, but not impossible

I'm not sure anyone really thought we'd get 51 in 2006, so there's always a chance we'd be the odds.
