Obama to resign from Senate

He's issued a statement saying that this will be effective on Sunday.

As of now the Senate is 51-49 Democrat, if one counts Joe Lieberman. With 
Obama's resignation it'll drop to 50-49. If Lieberman switches then it
goes 
to 50-49 Republican for the remainder of the Senate term. If Biden resigns

then it drops to 49-49 + Lieberman, with Cheney as the tiebreaker.

Not sure when the Senate term ends, but it'd be odd if the republicans had

control for a few weeks in there. They probably couldn't accomplish
anything 
with the House still in Democrat hands, but it'd be weird.
