That will make it 45 in the Republican to 55 in the Democratic caucuses in the U.S. Senate.

WOW! What a surprise. He's been a democrat before.

^ The "surprise" is that Republicans are still 10 votes behind in the Senate.
How'd that happen?

All these losses can be drawn like a line, back to Rove and crossroads america. Americans have rejected citizens united, and the teabaggers with it.
The GOP is cornered politically by the president thanks to them. To Caucus with the Repubs in the Senate would put him in a minority vote that expects total party adherence, and King is not that kind of guy. However, he will side on some budgetary issues with the GOP and he will be the vote that the GOP picks off of the Dem caucus in close votes.

As a resident of ME, no surprise. Not only that, but the Republicans didn't even bother to reach out to him. The Democrats did.

Bernie Sanders is an "I" also that sides with Democrats but he is basically a Socialist. I love how people always say MA is a liberal bastion but VT is now basically a giant hippie commune with affluent skiers.
