What would you think of Jon Corzine as Senate Majority Leader?
He has been doing a hell of a job as the head of the Senate Election Committee this cycle, and between you and me I think we will win back the senate.

I think a great reward would be Senate Majority Leader. Yep, Tom D. is the Minority Leader and probably would want to be Majority leader too, but I think with a new president we need new leadership in the senate.

Just my .2

1. I would vote for him
Tom needs a rest--he's too ready to kneel down to the Pukkkes.

2. He's only been in the Senate
for four years. I don't think it's quite his time yet.

5. LBJ was in the senate four years before he became
the strongest Majority Leader that body ever knew.

6. How about Feingold?
Only senator to vote against the Patriot Act. I think he'd be a great one. Durbin would be good as well.

7. Anyone but Daschle!
A * enabler if ever there was one.

Actually Dick Durbin would be a great choice. I REALLY like that man.

9. I don't think Daschle is a Bush enabler
Just because he's not a firebrand liberal doesn't mean he's a bad Dem. He's just moderate and being from North Dakota requires that of a Democrat.

10. I like Corzine a lot, his passion and integrity. But as a spokesperson
i think the party could do a little better with someone else.

Supposing Daschle doesn't win in SD (i think he will), the party will have to select a new leader. Who better than HILLARY?! Not sure if she would make that move or not. You just know it would totally fuck with the freeper heads. Otherwise, i really like Durbin and Feingold. Figure Dodd to run for leader again too.

12. Chris Dodd, Dick Durbin, Pat Leahy
someone from a safe state that can afford to freely advocate liberal Democratic policies

15. Frank Lautenberg would be better, but John's OK.
New Jersey has two very good Senators, but Frank is absolutely free. He once posted on his web site a diagram of a Chickenhawk. (Frank is a WWII combat vet.)

He came out of retirement to pull us out of that Torecelli mess, and he doesn't give a rat's ass about polls or re-election. I feel absolutely liberated by Frank.
