Assuming that James Webb prevails over George Allen, the incoming Senate will have 49 Republicans, 50 Democrats (including nominal Socialist Bernie Sanders), and 1 Joe Lieberman. Lieberman, having won re-election in spite of being dumped by his party in the primary for voting with Republicans occasionally, now owes nothing to the Democrats and is even more free to vote with Republicans when his conscience dictates. If Lieberman sides with the Republicans on a party line vote, it's a 50-50 tie, with the Vice President adding the 51st vote for the GOP. Lieberman is now the real tie-breaker, the most powerful member of the United States Senate, and largely thanks to the Kos Kidz support for Ned Lamont in the primary.
Kos, this one's for you--

Now isn't that ironic?
I wish I'd thought of it myself, but it's the absolute truth. The Shark also has a video to go with the post. Go over there and read the whole thing!!!

Update: James Webb did prevail over George Allen. So The Shark was absolutely right.
