Control of the Senate is at stake in Connecticut too. Lieberman is threatening to caucus with Republicans.Paleo (http://www.dailykos.com/...) in the diaries offers this breath-taking quote from Lieberman regarding who he will caucus with if elected: the Democrats or the Republicans.
From The Hill (http://hillnews.com/...) (my emphasis):
Lieberman said he would keep his senior position in the caucus, even though he lost Connecticut's Democratic primary, and is running against Democratic nominee Ned Lamont, whom the Senate Democratic leadership has endorsed.
"That's what I've been told," said Lieberman in an interview Friday, before Congress recessed for the election. "Caucuses like to keep as many members as they can, not discourage membership," implying that leaders risk his defection to the GOP if they strip him of seniority.
Translation: We could win nearly every key Senate contest and still not gain control of the Senate, thanks to Joe.
This is blackmail. It's flabbergasting. Reid should deal with this, and Lamont should paint Connecticut with this quote.
