A third poll in the past week show Democrats with a shot at picking up a Senate seat in Georgia. Yes, Georgia.
Open Left's Senate Forecast predicts Democrats will pick up 8 seats, which would give Democrats 59 counting Lieberman.And yet more confirmation that this is a real race, from a Republican pollster, no less:
Strategic Vision (R). 10/5-7. Likely voters. MoE 3% (9/7-9 results)
Chambliss (R) 47 (57)
Martin (D) 44 (28)
Buckley (L) 4 (-)Can you believe those trendlines? Just savor them for a moment -- from minus 29 to minus 3, in just a month.
Getting to 60 seats in the Senate isn't out of the question, but would be hard to get. There are 4 other seats where the poll averages show Republicans leading by less than 7 which includes this race in Georgia, McConnell's seat in Kentucky, Cornyn in Texas, and the race to replace Trent Lott in Mississippi.

If (when?) the Democrats open a wider margin in the Senate I wouldn't put it out of the realm of possibility that Joe Lieberman would caucus with the Republicans, especially if he is retaliated against in comittee assignments after the election because of his support of McCain as Herry Reid has hinted.
I sure hope Lieberman gets kicked out of the Democratic caucus.
He will still vote with the Democrats on the environment and a lot of other issues and he won't be considered a spokesperson of the Democratic party anymore.
