For me, I still love Ted Kennedy, even with his appetites.

my representative Peter DeFazio and Sen. Ron Wyden.

And Barbara Boxer about a million times over. :loveya:

and Stephanie Tubbs Jones!! :bounce:

and Robert Byrd! and John "Ironballs" Conyers!

I'm also partial to Wesley Clark--he's a great explainer and has a good moral compass and understanding of foreign policy.

I'm proud of what Clinton was able to accomplish despite having a hostile congress. He was persuasive.

And, of course, Dennis Kucinich, Jimmy Carter, Howard Dean, Al Gore...and the spirit of Paul Wellstone.

Stephanie Tubbs-Jones -- lets just say, the entire Congressional Black Caucus -- Eliot Spitzer, Dennis Kucinich, Howard Dean.

12. Second on my list is my former Congresswoman

Lois Capps. She isn't well know nationally, but is a liberal on the scale of Barbara Boxer.

[zauberflote]

[GreenPartyVoter]

[ChairOne]

14. Whatever - who among us doesn't get horny and wanna drink?

lol

[never_get_over_it]

15. The Congressional Black Caucus

everyone of them but especially

Maxine Waters, John Conyers, Cynthia McKinney, Stephanie Tubbs-Jones

Dennis Kucinich
Barbara Boxer
Ted Kennedy
Al Sharpton
Bob Graham
Howard Dean
Senator Stabenow can't think of her first name but loved her speech on the 6th
Robert Wexler

and I'm especially proud of Janet Reno - I think she and Dennis Kucinich have the most integrity of any politicians I have ever been aware of - and she was treated so disrespectfully while she was AG.

I know I missed several but these are the ones who come to mind right now.

[kweerwolf]

16. Carol Mosley Braun

I had the pleasure to meet her when she spoke on behalf of a Democratic Senate candidate. She's an impressive, intelligent woman. Most politicians (of any stripe!) I'd hate to have to sit down with for more than 5 minutes. I think I could have spent an entire evening talking with Carol.

[The Gigmeister]

18. Anyone with a "D" behind their name.

I'm not a Puritan. Puritans lose. I'm into winning. I'm into beating the pukes!!

[PROGRESSIVE1]

24. Lois Capps. Maxine Waters

The Sanchez sisters, Loretta and Linda.

Jane Harman.

Nancy Pelosi (for the most part).

And that's just U.S. Congress. California has lots of good women elected at all levels. They're almost all great...except for Mary Bono.

[Crunchy Frog]

25. Wes Clark, Barbara Boxer, Charlie Rangel, Howard Dean,

Dennis Kucinich, James Byrd, the entire Congressional Black Caucus. Also all the grassroots activists who worked so hard this election.

[Adelante]
