Just because the organizing resolution is worded differently for the current Senate, there is nothing to prevent them from holding a vote the very day they gain the majority to modify the resolution and give them the committee leaderships.

Mostly, when the GOP was in the "majority", they immitated doormats and let the Dems wipe their feet on them. A trade means the RINO-to-be-named-later gets to be <em>their</em> problem for a change. Plus there are some out there who voted for the Democrat Party believing they would keep their promise of creating a coherent Iraq strategy (don't you <em>dare</em> laugh!), and Democrat control of Congress means that they have to produce. Democrats <em>loath</em> making anything except trouble. Try it yourself: If you want to have a little fun and make a Democrat soil their underwear, whisper "<em>accountability</em>" in their ear. But those fun and games are in the future. For now, which RINO should go? If we want to raise the collective IQs of <em>both</em> parties, Hagel gets the nod. If having the most senior moments by a senior senator is the benchmark, bye-bye Specter! How about good ol' sexist "ladies first"? Collins or Snowe. The tiebreaker can go to the one who has had the most fantasies about "servicing" William Jefferson Clinton (That last comment was probably uncalled for. Not to mention that these days John Murtha is their main squeeze.) G – the Dems were already in control before the 2006 elections.

Do they defund the war to satisfy the nutroots base, and wind up sacrificing their majority in the Senate, or do they PO the nutroots but try and pacify Lieberman? No matter what, expect the outpouring of hatred and vitriol for Lieberman to measure an 11 out of 10 (obscure spinal tap reference).
