Imagine if he alone ends up determining who controls the Senate. Angus King tried to avoid picking a side and learned immediately that you don't get to actually do much if you aren't part of a caucus. If he's elected, I think he probably caucuses with the majority party of his state but maintains a moderate image, just like King.

Not hard to imagine as right now it looks itтАЩs come down to him and Brown winning. If Harris wins and we win the House, heтАЩd be better off caucusing with Dems with the easy expiration of, тАЬIтАЩd rather work with the people in power so I can get bills passed.тАЭ
IтАЩd be extremely disappointed if he won and chose to caucus with Republicans. If he was going to do that, then why bother running against a real Republican? Does the Senate have discharge petitions where he could caucus with the GOP but then helps us get bills or nominations to the floor? He could also switch caucuses all willy nilly whenever he wanted a certain piece of legislation to the floor but that would be so irritating procedurally.

Getting a Lisa Murkowski clone from Nebraska would be a win in my book.
