You had a 50-50 Senate in January, and from the 3rd to the 20th, Dems had control because Gore was still VP. Then it flipped when Cheney became VP. (It then flipped back when a Republican defected to caucus with the Dems as an independent. Then flipped again when a Dem Senator died and the Senator appointed in his place chose to caucus with neither major party and Republicans flipped a seat in a special election leading to a 48(+1)-50-1 majority.) --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? <cite>xp1337 posted [p:949157726] in Politics C...
