Imagine if the Repubs lose 2 seats and Lieberman becomes the swing vote for Senate control. Will he vote for Harry Reid to be Senate Majority Leader? Vote for Frist? Or Abstain? > > More likely, Repubs lost a seat or two, but not enough to put the Senate Majority in jeopardy. Then Lieberman will be forced to decide going with the Republicans. If he votes for Frist, he'll get a cushy Committee Appointment. He gains nothing by siding with Harry Reid, since the Repubs will control the Senate regardless. > > My bet is that he goes with Frist, making him part of the "Republican Caucus" and a "Defacto Republican." > > Poor Dems, they just shot themselves in the foot. > > What is pathetic is republicans giving up principle for power. Leiberman was the democrat VP candidate, and a statist through and through. Why would the OPPOSITION want him on their side? Unless of course, the republicans are just as statist as democrats. Which makes you wonder why they even bother to vote, if they are so much alike. Unless it really is about the power. PEACE Steven R.
