[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's an idea. Hogan should run for Senate as an Independent. He could possibly win with a libertarianish fiscal conservative/social center-liberal position. He could win votes from registered Republicans and Democrats and if elected, vote as he pleases, not giving either party an edge in leadership. Call me naive, but this is what I wish Hogan would do. [/quote] You're naive (or ill-informed), and here's why. Leaving aside the unlikelihood that he would win, if he did manage to pull it out, Hogan has to pick a party to caucus with. If he doesn't do that, he doesn't get any committee assignments, and dramatically limits his influence. He's obviously going to caucus with the GOP, being a lifelong Republican, which would be a vote for GOP control of the chamber. [/quote]
