Democrats 51 and R-49??
To automatically throw the 2 new Independant seats in the 'D' column??
What the f#@! is going on here??
I could understand a mistake here, but the NYT, WashPo, Real Clear Politics all push the LIE that the 6 new seats give the Dems the 50 for control or just brush over how crucial the Connecticut seat was for the Democratic Party
Only CNN had it right last night. 43 was the official base number on the Democratic side, because Joe lost the 44th in the primary.
The new official Senate Tally is: (43 old plus 6 new for the Dems)
R-49
D-49
I-2
The Dem insiders willingly duped many, including Cilliza of WashPo that caucusing is AOK, and never indicated the seriousness of Liebermans position.
The 'insiders' we all fought against won big time.
But they gave away a key Senate controlling seat to get their man.
Thats' the truth, and there's your real headline.
