That's not right.

It's actually 49 Dems, 49 Repubs and 2 Independant.

So how does the Constitution or Senate rules, handle that?

The Indies can caucus or organize with whichever party they choose.
Sanders and Lieberman have already indicated they will caucus with the
Dems. That gives the Dems control of the Senate and gives Cheney more time
to go out hunting with his friends.

Time to offer Lieberman a Cabinet Position...or the VP spot.
