>>Besides, he IS the president of the Senate and that, in and of itself, carries a certain amount of weight
No it doesn't. VP's don't ever bother presiding over the Senate unless there's a chance of a tie vote. There's no upside to it otherwise. >>Lincoln was the first Republican after all. No, he wasn't. He wasn't even the first Republican presidential candidate (John Fremont in 1856). He was the first Republican president; is that what you meant?
