Lincoln Chafee May Cross Aisle - Thus Blocking the Bush Dictatorship
"Republicans won control of the Senate after ousting Democrats in Georgia and Missouri, giving president Bush's legislative agenda a major boost in the next Congress... With at least 47 senators, Democrats will still be able to use filibusters - procedural delays - to kill Republican initiatives because such roadblocks need only 41 votes to succeed....But the final word on Senate control may be delayed because of possible Election Day disputes over paper ballots in Minnesota and other issues. Uncertainty could linger until Dec. 7, when a Louisiana runoff will be held since the front-runner there, Landrieu, failed to win 50 percent of the vote. Furthermore, Rhode Island Republican Sen. Lincoln Chaffee said he might consider crossing the aisle after the election if the chamber were tied 50-50." - pMSNBC, via democrats.com email.
Yeah, and then Zell Miller crosses...
Speaking of DINOs, Jim Traficant is still just another prisoner in Pennsylvania.
