Poll: Who is your favourite female Democratic Politician?

[rpf113]

Sorry guys I know there are so many, so bare with me and choose one of these special ladies.

[rpf113]

1. If I didn't include your favorite:

Vote for one of the above and then add your favorite in a reply! Let's have some fun with polls.

[Sugarbleus]

42. I think it's Deb Stabenow? Mich? eom

[Ivote]

2. Cant vote

They are all great. You left some off. Boy do we have a wealth of talent.

[rpf113]

3. Don't we though?

We have a party of superstars! Why aren't we the majority? Democrats are so much friggin' COOLER!

[punpirate]

4. No "other?"

Right now, bar none, I'd say Eleanor Holmes Norton. Sharp, sharp lady, and is relentless on behalf of her constituents and human rights.

[rpf113]

7. I have to admit...

I don't know who she is.
Where is she from? WHom does she represent?
Pardon my ignorance.

[punpirate]

21. She's a former head of the EEOC and is...

... the current District of Columbia delegate to the House.

Smart lady.

Cheers.

[Kanary]

5. Pat Schroeder

She was consistent, brilliant, funny and always there for those on the edge.

[rpf113]

6. Oooooooooooooooh... she's a good one.

Should have thought of her. She is absolutely awesome. I don't think there is a bad bone in her body. She always seemed to good to be involved in dirty politics. WHat a stand up lady.

[Kanary]

31. Ah, thanks for the cheers for Pat!

I can't tell you how great it was to be able to work on her campaigns, and to be able to go to the polls and HAPPILY vote FOR someone, rather than just against another.

There'll never be another Pat Schroeder... so inspiring, so funny, and sooo together!

Kanary, with so many fond memories.....

[kurtyboy]

38. AMEN baby

I got to meet her on a flight to Seattle once, shortly after she withdrew from the presidential race. What a class act....

[Danocrat]

8. Ann Richards

[rpf113]

10. Ahhhhhhhh.....

She's one of my favourites too.
WOnderful lady.
Can't believe Bush beat her, never should have happened.

[corporatewhore]

37. I dont like Ann Richards because of her nuclear pact w/VT and maine

9. Senator Hillary Clinton

[rpf113]

I'm with you there!

n/t

[mulethree]

39. Has improved

Still don't much like her, probably still pissed about her running in New York. Talks a lot of Fluff and buzzword-of-the-month.

A year ago her record was aweful - in terms of writing legislation. She had been co-signing about everything Schumer did and introduced various useless resolutions.

I looked recently and was impressed.

[Rowdyboy]

11. I can't believe you left out one of the toughest Dems in the senate

Maryland Senator Barbara Mikulski-tough. tough, tough!

I wish she was my senator.

[murielm99]

14. I agree. She is great.

She is in a tie for me, with Pelosi.

Do any of you contribute to Emily's List? Emily's list was started, because some of the good women candidates did not have enough money to sustain a campaign. If you do not know Emiy's list, please look into it. They list all the great women politicians and contenders. Plus, they are pro-choice.

I am not rich, but I give money to support these candidates.

[Shanty Oilish]

12. Hillary Clinton

Based on what I know of Machiavelli (plenty) and game theory (enough) she is the only female politician who knows how to be one. She has paid dearly for her success and deserves even more success. I don't believe she'll ever be president. But she should be.

[rpf113]

13. This poll is getting more and more interesting.

Hillary and Cynthia in a dead-heat

Anybody know what Cynthia is up to these days?

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

15. Patty Murray - my senator. Courageously liberal.

She votes consistantly for liberal causes and voted against the IWR.

[really-looney]

16. There's Something About Mary

The most logical person to put on the Democratic ticket with most of those running is Mary. If there is one state in the south we can pick up, it is Louisiana. They elected a democratic Governor and Senator against what the national trend in the last two electoral cycles. Her Brother is the Lt Gov for the state also and the family is a true force in state politics. I think we can win this state with her on the ticket.

[nickinSTL]

17. Caroline Kennedy Townshead?

Is this intended to be a joke I'm not getting, or what?

I thought RFK's daughter was Kathleen Kennedy Townshend?

[rpf113]

18. Ooops

I messed up
who was the one running for gov.?
I can't believe someone voted for a non-existant woman!

[GreenPartyVoter]

19. McKinney, Boxer, Moseley-Braun, Lee

[Nailzberg]

20. Jan Schakosky needs on this list

[PurityOfEssence]

25. Ya beat me to it.

The best reps in the country are her, Pete Stark, Barney Frank and Henry Waxman.

[Devlzown]

22. Definitely Cynthia McKinney

She put her ass on the line, and that is a rare quality indeed in a politician. A true heroine.

[AlFrankenFan]

23. I love Hillary!

She's the best :D

[mdmc]

35. awful Senator

wrong forum.. She used to be my fav. ... disappointment,

[stanwyck]

24. Cynthia McKinney. Here's why

(though this is a toughie cause there are several I greatly admire). But Cynthia was my representative for years. I followed her voting record in the AJC and every vote she made was exactly how I would have voted. Plus, I just liked the idea of knowing she was in Congress. Riding the elevators with bigots who just could barely contain their anger at having to be polite and professional with an elected woman. An elected black woman. An elected black woman who is tough. And mouthy. And much, much taller than they are. Cynthia raises blood pressure even higher than Hillary. And that's just one of the reasons I love her.

[Tatiana]

26. Maxine Waters n/t

[Doomsayer13]

27. Boxer

but my Rep Lois Capps is a sweetheart

[Lindsey]

28. I love Hillary

especially after I read her book. I also adore Boxer - being a Californian, she has represented our state in a way in which I have the upmost respect. I wish I could say the same for Feinstein (Republican Light - she's pissed me off many times).

[kath]

29. I find it VERY hard to stomach Hillary's vote for the Blank Check

Resolution.

[solinvictus]

30. Texas Governor Ann Richards

Hillary Clinton is as much a corporate shill as Dubya.

[corporatewhore]

34. I dont like Anne richards for her nuclear waste pact with VT and maine

http://www.bushfiles.com/bushfiles/Nuclear.html

[cms424]

32. I want to mention someone who hasn't been mentioned...

Joycelyn Elders, the Surgeon General under Clinton who was busted for suggesting that teenagers should be taught masterbation as an alternative to premarital sex. I supported Clinton but he made a mistake in getting rid of her. She lost her job because she made too much sense. I was fortunate enough to get to hear her speak when I was in college and I thought she was brilliant. She really inspired me. I would vote for her in a second. Too bad that we will never see a black woman president in my lifetime.

[corporatewhore]

33. Shelia Jackson Lee

[GreenPartyVoter]

46. Shoot! Should have had her on my list.

[juajen]

36. Sorry I could only vote once

I voted for Hillary, but I also love Mary Landrieu.

41. Definately McKinney

It took guts to say what she said. And, she paid the price.

[buddhamama]

43. Cynthia McKinney

n/t

[Speed8098]

44. I picked Mrs. Clinton

But I like all of the choices mentioned in this thread.

There are a couple of posters who dislike Senator Clinton and I wonder if they would tell us if they actually live in New York.


(on edit: I need to start using spell check)

[WyLoochka]

45. AZ Governor Janet Napolitano

is da best!
