2. If we win the Senate it would make sense for him to caucus with |
|
the Dems. That way he has some power. If the repubs win, well, I don't know...

12. He's pledged to caucus with the Dems if reelected. |
|
If he goes back on that, he'd be begging for trouble. A lawsuit for election fraud at the very least. I don't know if CT has recall elections.

15. You know, I don't know either. |
|
I have never heard of a recall election here in CT but I have only lived here since 1985. I'll try to find out. My sense is that we don't have recall elections in New England, as I have never heard of one. Maybe it's a western state thing...

4. I'm assuming, since you can't end up with a tie in any one election... |
|
that the 1 tie is a race that is presently too close to call. I'll also assume that it count Lieberman as siding with his former party. If that tie goes to the GOP, it means a 50-50 senate even with Lieberman's loyalty, and ol' sure-shot Dick will cast the tie-breaker giving us a 51-50 GOP majority. And even if the tie falls our way, I don't count on Joe's support come January, which would still give us a tie and a Cheney tie-breaker.
I won't get too excited about the Senate till I see a 52-48 projection (or a Lamont surge to send Joe home)

5. How does the Independent - Bernie Sanders - fit it? |
|
He caucuses with the Democrats, but wouldn't be in their count and he's definitely going to win.

them, so in effect it is 51-49 but technically it is 50-49-1.
The real question is Lieberman? The republicans will put alot of pressure on him.

I check this site daily, it is a great site. Not so much for House races, the map is for the Senate. http://www.electoral-vote.com/

I'm not sure any more. I don't think he is, either.

Bernie Sanders is also an I. Bernie's up by about 20% from the last polls I saw. So what's that telling you? Good news for Ned if this prediction holds true.
This is encouraging cause I saw a breakdown of 50-48-2 in favor of the GOOP a week ago. But three weeks to election day seems like an eternity.
