50/50

Looks like the Senate might go 50/50 again, with the Vice President dropping in to break ties again.
And that's only if Tennessee can get past electing Ford to office (which call me cynical, but it's still the South). There's no way Kean Jr. won't win in Jersey - everyone hates the way that Menedez got the job in the first place. And if Leiberman wins, as an independent, he's free to caucus with whomever he wants -making him the biggest guy to watch in a 50/50 split. He alone could make it a 49/51 just by bolting a party that did it's level best to get rid of him. My prediction is the House with about a 30 member majority for the Democrats and the Senate in Republican hands as a 50/50 or 49/51, with Leiberman a potential wild card. We'll see - 3 weeks is a long time - anything could happen...
