I believe we will take the senate. Only question is will it be 51-49 or 52-48.

[Clarkie1]

The size of our majority will depend on whether or not Ford can pull off a win in Tennessee. That's my opinion.

Get out the Vote!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JeffR]

1. I like that choice: good or better

I'll go with better, but settle for good if that's how it works out.

[NOLADEM]

2. Does your math include Lieberman switching parties?

I can feel it in my bones.

[Clarkie1]

5. My math assumes Lieberman will remain a Dem.

For the purposes of THIS analysis only, I am considering the CT race a "non-factor"

[lapfog_1]

7. If it's 51-49 and depends on Lieberman voting with Dems

I, too, am very afraid. The repukes will promise him anything to switch, and then it's 50-50 with Cheney casting the deciding vote.

can we say Majority Leader Joe Lieberman(I).

I can't stand to think of it. But it's possible.

[Clarkie1]

8. I don't think that is possible. Lieberman does not share the Republican Party's values.

He won't switch over a disagreement on a botched foreign misadventure. No way.

[NOLADEM]

9. Uh, I dunno, he is a nat's ass hair above Zell Miller to me

I think he's gone. He MIGHT caucus with the Dems at first, but I feel like he might be coaxed. If Lamont somehow pulls the election out of his ass, I think Lieberman will be gone by January and will take a post with Bushco.

Just my two cents. No insider info here.

[Bobbie Jo]

10. Besides...

He wants to hang on to his seniority. He's not going to jump.

[Hosnon]

3. Too bad we need an unattainable 67 to get rid of W. nt

[Jack Rabbit]

4. Gee, I thought you meant whethe Lieberman bolts or not

[Clarkie1]

6. I know you won't like this, but most likely outcome means that scenario

would result in 50-50 senate with Cheney being the tiebreaker.

I do not believe AT ALL that this will happen. Lieberman will caucus with Dems and therefore Dems will retain the majority.
