50. He can go won't make a difference to committee chairs
http://politicalinsider.com/2007/02/liebermans_switch_wouldnt_flip.html

"If Lieberman were to caucus with the Republicans, they would still not take full control of the Senate, despite Vice President Dick Cheney's ability to break 50-50 ties. This is because of a little-known Senate organizing resolution, passed in January, which gives Democrats control of the Senate and committee chairmanships until the beginning of the 111th Congress."

Although back in February I tried to get someone from Harry Reid's office to confirm this but they wouldn't or couldn't or something - but you know I think if Lieberman's change would impact the committee assignments he would have done it by now....
