1. very encouraging

does this assume that lieberman will caucas with us?

[CTyankee]

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...

[TheWraith]

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.

[CTyankee]

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...

3. Can you say impeachment? But no 'pukes would vote for conviction

[elocs]

9. Are you sure all Dems would vote to convict? n/t

[indepat]

11. No! But pretty sure no 'puke would vote to convict no matter how

compelling the evidence supporting such.

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.

[WI_DEM]

6. if he caucuses with the democrats he will vote to organize the senate with

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.

[WI_DEM]

7. whose projections are these?

[Nictuku]

10. It matches those of this site

I check this site daily, it is a great site. Not so much for House races, the map is for the Senate.

8. Which way are they counting Lieberman?

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

[KharmaTrain]

13. He's An I...

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.
