Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, South Dakota Democrat, says he believes Sen. Lincoln Chafee, the liberal Rhode Island Republican, could become a Democrat. But he does not foresee Sen. Zell Miller, the Georgia Democrat who often votes with Republicans, switching parties.
"A year from now, could Lincoln Chafee be a Democrat?" Tony Snow, host of "Fox News Sunday," asked Mr. Daschle.
"Possible," the Senate's top Democrat replied.
"A year from now, could Zell Miller be a Republican?" Mr. Snow asked.
"Impossible," Mr. Daschle said. He did not elaborate.
