The Times Picayune reports that Louisiana Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu and Maine Republican Sen. Olympia Snowe will co-chair the centrist coalition of senators when Congress reconvenes next month.
Will Missouri Sen.-elect Claire McCaskill become a member? Bets are she will.
The Times Picayune reports that the group will be looking for a new name when it meets Jan. 11. It's lost some high-profile moderate Republicans, including Sen. Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island and Sen. Mike DeWine of Ohio.
"Several of the freshly elected Democratic senators who defeated conservative Republicans are likely to join the centrist group. Among them are Jim Webb in Virginia, Bob Casey in Pennsylvania, Claire McCaskill in Missouri and Jon Tester in Montana," the Picayune reports.
