A Socialist in the Senate?

David Sirota sees a distinct possibility that Rep. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) will succeed Jim Jeffords in the Senate.

[Update 11:28 AM Pacific]: CQ Today's Midday Update (free email service) has more on the race...

Speculation on a successor immediately centered on Vermont’s lone House member, self-proclaimed socialist Bernard Sanders, another independent first elected in 1990 who caucuses with the Democrats in his chamber. Two-term moderate Republican Gov. Jim Douglas would likely offer the GOP its strongest shot at the seat.
Though this seat certainly leans Democratic, it will be a race to watch in 2006.
