Who Is Your Favorite Democratic Senator

[DemocratSinceBirth]

mine is .......


guess who.....


duh......


Ted Kennedy.....

[NewJerseyDem]

1. Lautenberg, of course

And in a close second, Jon Corzine.

Of that list I would probably vote for Russ Feingold though or Tom Harkin.

[Enraged American]

3. Byrd BY FAR

He has integrity, which many Repucrats (Lieberman) lack. He has spoken out against the media and against Sharon's policies.

[wuushew]

6. Someone has said he is the pork king of the Senate

But his defense of the constitution cannot be questioned.

[Chico Man]

2. My vote for other:

Lincoln Chaffee, because although he's a Republican, he's a Democrat.

:)

[Iris]

4. Zell Miller

hee! hee!

Just kidding.


Really.


I promise!

[yankeedem]

5. Chuck Schumer....

He's been tireless for NY since he kicked out that fascist D'amato.

[NewJerseyDem]

11. I don't like him

I don't trust him at all. There are a ton of better senators. I think Schumer is just a politician that does everything for political purposes.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

34. Absolutely. He is a force to be reckoned with

and a forceful speaker. Jon Corzine is up there too (hint to New Jersey Dem)

[otohara]

7. Honorable Mention

Dick Durbin for leading the fight to overturn FCC
Barbara Boxer for always fighting to keep Roe V Wade safe from wingnuts

[newsguyatl]

8. right now a toss up

between kennedy and byrd, but i voted for kennedy because of his awesome comments today on the war being a sham.

way to go senator!

[ChompySnack]

9. Ron Wyden (D-OR)

He is low profile but he usually stands for the right issues. He was wavering on supporting the war when I called his office, but a couple of days later he came out against the resolution. I was very proud of him.

[Pastiche423]

13. You weren't the only one that called his office

But my vote went to Senator Robert C. Byrd!

[LynneSin]

10. Jon Corzine, Debbie Stabenow and of course Joe Biden

Jon because I think he's picking up where Paul Wellstone left off. Debbie cause I just think she's a great senator and I have alot of respect for the gal. And I don't care what anyone says, I adore Joe Biden, but then again I'm from Delaware. But I've always like the guy even before I moved to the state!

[pasadenaboy]

17. What in the world do you like about Biden?

He's gone nuts the last year or so, with the wierd draconian drug laws he has proposed, and his love for Bush's foreign policy. I used to like him, but he's been a huge sell out the last year.

Also, the hair plugs are pretty bad. He should have just went bald gracefully.

[stanwyck]

27. I like Corzine

even though I'm from Atlanta. Wish he was ours. Can we trade Zell?

[JerseyGuy]

32. Hell no!

[NewJerseyDem]

33. My one problem with Corzine

I really don't like how he spent so much money on his own campaign. I don't think that is right and it really bothers me. It is unfair to those that aren't super rich like he is.

[Wetzelbill]

12. I'm partial to Max Baucus

except he's too quiet for my taste. His progressive record is great, I would just like to see him get fiery.

[tjdee]

14. Tom "I voted for the war" Harkin???

I mean, he's got about the same voting record as John "Bushlite" Edwards!

He couldn't POSSIBLY be the favorite choice of some DUers!

<shocked!>

That said, I have two fantastic senators, and I'm just crazy about Corzine, who turned out to be such a wonderful wonderful choice--former chair of Goldman Sachs at that! I was a little hesitant, but he's turned out to be very progressive, can't say enough good things about him.

Of course, and Teddy Kennedy, that really goes without saying.
Over in the house I like Stephanie Tubbs Jones, that whole crew of women, very very awesome.

[LuCifer]

15. BOB GRAHAM!

Best FL Gov'r (Sorry Lawton! Hey, being #2 ain't bad!!! ESPECIALLY COMPARED TO JEB THE TURD!)

Lu

[Ronnie]

40. I second

those emotions!

[quinnox]

16. While Kennedy is great

Hillary Clinton is the future. I had to vote for the future first woman president of the United States!

[Forkboy]

18. Agree with you on Ted

:thumbsup:

[David Zephyr]

19. Well, Ted Kennedy Certainly Is the Man of the Hour In My Book

I love this guy!

[Wetzelbill]

20. Touche'

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

21. The Man from WV

Robert Byrd has, in his eloquent manner, exposed the Bush lies since the selection. I've written letters in support of him to WV papers (at the request of a WV friend). My hat's off to him.

Only wish Paul Simon of Illinois was still a Senator. He is a great man, and highly underrated.

[KittyWampus]

22. Dick Durbin

He's got a great voting record
He's great when he speaks in the Senate and when he appears on Crossfire
He has the unassuming charisma of your favorite next door neighbor

[DemSigns]

25. and he voted against the war in Iraq!

May he have a long and prosperous career!

[ComerPerro]

30. And he is my Senator

I like Durbin

[davsand]

43. I love Durbin.

He's made me proud to have worked to elect him. Everytime I'm around him he just blows me away with his sincerity and his passion. It also doesn't hurt any that he's been up front on opposing a lot of the crap that shrub and co. have tried to pull. He's a good man, and I am proud of him.

ayeshahaqqiqa, I agree with you about Sen Paul Simon. He's another one that made me proud to have carried his lit. If you stop to think about it, Illinois really has not done too badly in eleacting good Dems to the Senate--the ones we have sent have been excellent!

Now, if we can just get Barack Obama elected to fill Fitzgerald's seat!!

Laura

[DemocratSinceBirth]

23. C'mon

I want Ted to win this poll....

Bobby Byrd deserves his props but who has been the tireless fighter for the underdog in the Senate for over forty years....

[JNelson6563]

24. a plug for my man Levin

Carl Levin has stood pretty firm in the face of this fascist bunch. I especially applaud his effort to attach some control to the Iraq resolution and his "no" vote on the Homeland inSecurity bill.

Julie

[stickdog]

26. Jim Jeffords deserves a nomination.

One of the greatest Bush indictments ever spoken:

[ButterflyBlood]

28. LMAO, why'd you include Lieberman?

I voted for Boxer.

[JI7]

29. barbara boxer

i picked other on the poll. but actually i do n't have 1 favorite. although at certain times depending on the issues i might look forward to seeing certain senators more than others such as right now with robert byrd . so i like byrd, kennedy, boxer, feingold, durbin, levin, harkin, leahy, and i'm sure some more. i like watching leahy on the judicial committee. boxer go after corporate whores, durbin speaking sense about almost anything on the senate floor. i can't pick one favorite, i like many for many and different reasons. and of course i like john kerry.

[GBD4]

31. Bob Graham

he's a Senator who voted against Tax Cut 01, Tax Cut 03, War Resolution 02, Ashcroft confirmation, Clarence Thomas confirmation, Robert Bork

so did many other Democratic Senators, but I'm biased :)

[CMT]

35. my Senator, Russ Feingold

But I'm awfully fond of...
Carl Levin
Tom Harkin
Edward Kennedy
Robert Byrd
Fritz Hollings
Bob Graham
Patrick Leahy
Jim Jeffords
Barbara Boxer
Dick Durbin
Barbara Mikulski
Paul Sarbanes
Jon Corzine

[gottaB]

36. Don't bogart that Feingold

You think he'll ever shoot for the presidency?

[CMT]

41. maybe one day

but I want him in the senate right now.

[joanski01]

37. I voted for

Ted Kennedy even before I looked at the candidates. I also love Robert Byrd and Dick Durbin. I hate my Senators -- Rick Santorum and Arlen Specter.

[Piperay]

38. Hard choice for me between Ted and

my own wonderful Senator Boxer but in the end I did choose Ted because of the way he is taking on the Bush regime. :-)

[Rowdyboy]

39. Bad ass Barbara Mikulski

she makes a mean crab cake!

[Zephyrbird]

42. ARGH!!! WHERE IN YOUR POLL IS...

CARL LEVIN!!!!!???? THE GRAND OLD MAN FROM MICHIGAN!! We are mighty fond of the ole dude here!

Michiganders unite! Boycott this post!!! :evilgrin:


on edit: However, The Byrdman comes in a close second.
