58. That one I can answer
If he has a D after his name, no matter how he votes, the D counts towards our full numbers in the Senate. If we have a majority, the Dems are able to take the majority status with all of its attendant power to subpeona, etc. If he has an I after his name, then he doesn't count towards either side.

Even if he wins with a D behind his name, he now knows, and should have known long before, that if we get a comfortable enough margin of real democrats in the Senate, he will be shown the door. He knows the only way he gets to stay is if he stays Democrat and he beats Lamont. Throwing a hissy fit about it won't help his numbers one bit.
