...Lott saw an opening and he was working feverishly to grab the Senate from Daschle during the lam-duck Congress. The chamber was divided 49 Democrats to 49 Republicans with the independent Jeffords standing with the Democrats on leadership votes. But if Lott could get his hands on one of Daschle's votes, the chamber would be split 50-50 with Vice President Dick Cheney casting the tie-breaker to put Republicans in charge during the lame-duck session. Former Republican Congressman Jim Talent who beat Carnahan, was supposed to fill the unexpired term of Carnahan's dead husband...
