1. the only tiebreaker that matters is the first, who gets the "majority" |
|
it will go 51-50 for the GOP thanks to the dick, and they can consider it another mandate.

3. That's how it was run in 2001 pre-Jeffords |
|
Luckily this time we have the House, so it won't be total GOP control.

2. I expect they have a vote on who should serve as majority leader |
|
And Cheney breaks the tie, so R's stay where they are.

6. I think the GOP keeps it |
|
Because they have the Presidency.

8. republicans would have the chairs and one extra member |
|
that was the case in 2000 before Jeffords switched.
