Jeffrod is independent but he was formerly a republican. can he now use his vote to tie the senate a, thus throwing any vote to cheny and the republicans. this is huge power for him.
he could demand and receive almost any concession from republicans for this tactic. it would baffle and thwart the democratic majority. he could even go back to being a repub but this would lose him the personal power he now enjoys. he and lieberman too, but mostly jeffrords because tie goes to the vice president.

Seems to me I heard Jeffords was retiring but it doesn't matter because the Bush people treated him so badly that in 2001 he began caucusing with the Democrats and will continue to do so until he retires.

He's a Democrat in all but name.
Like a lot of us, he can't support what the hijacking abominations in the bush-league have made out of the former GOP.

Not really if he is still in the minority, it's still majority rule.
