then why was Daschle senate MAJORITY LEADERhe left from the GOP and sided with the dems, giving the dem a controlling majorityHe was a registered Republican until 2001, and while he certainly sided in voting with Democrats more than he did with the Republicans-I wont dispute this-he didn't vote exclusively Democrat. Therefore I don't think it's accurate to say that the Democrats controlled the Senate.
if you dont think so, how do you think Daschle became Majority leader of the Senate
btw, last i knew, 50-49-1 gives one a majority
Majority-not control.
and all committee chairs went to dems
