Apologetic Dems need Lieberman's sway in Senate |
2006-11-10 |
![]() The reason is simple: Both parties need him. With the Senate race in Virginia still disputed, Democrats remain at least one seat short of winning an outright majority and taking control of Congress. Even if Democrat James Webb ultimately defeats incumbent Republican Senator George Allen, Mr. Lieberman's vote will be crucial to Democrats seeking to impose their legislative agenda on Washington in the next two years. For Republicans, who now have just 49 Senate seats, Mr. Lieberman could be an important ally on thorny security issues like counterterrorism policy and border security. |

#11 But....if there are 49 elected Republicans, and 49 elected Democrats, and 2 elected Independants.. how do you get to a 51-49 Democrat majority? Looks like a majority tie to me, and the Daschle '02 shared majority rule should kick in... mathematicly speaking, of course. |

#10 Lieberman is a Democrat. He may part with Pelosi on the war, but he is in sync on domestic programs. He will support the Dem agenda, leadership appointments, budget priorities and judicial appointments. |

#3 Lieberman is the Republics safety net. No anti-war BS will get by the Senate, because Joe isnt bound to the Dems who backstabbed him. Hell, he will be a hero in his home state. I wonder if the press will brand him "Maverick" for blocking the Dems like they do with McCain blocking the Repubs. At lesat he has his integrity. Unliek that buttplug Chaffee. 7 figures the naitonal party spent on that disloyal asshole countryclub repub. We could a used that money a lot better elsewhere. No more money for RINOs. |
