I'm jealous of [insert state]'s US Senators

[TayTay]

I wish they were mine.

Okay, which state's Senators do you wish were yours?

(conversely for states with good senators, which state's senators would you not take unless your family was being threatened.?)

[SaveElmer]

1. Illinois...

I live in Virginia...pretty bad...especially Allen.

Obama and Durbin are probably the best pair!

Clinton and Schumer are pretty good too!!!

[renaissanceguy]

5. I'm from Illinois

and I love Durbin. Obama has yet to really impress me, but I'm waiting until he learns the ropes.

[Cha]

49. I from New York and I

want Paul Wellstone! Oh well..How about Boxer and Lautenberg as long as I'm wishing!

[BuelahWitch]

2. Kennedy and Kerry

I'm stuck with Brownback and Roberts in Kansas :(. Wonder if Mass would be willing to annex Lawrence? After all our main street is called Massachusetts street! B-)

[KingFlorez]

3. Re: I'm jealous of [insert state]'s US Senators

Thankfully, I'm in a blue state with two good Senators Feinstein and Boxer.

[ToeBot]

4. Pick a state at random,

I'm from Utah!

[katinmn]

13. LOL. At least Boxer speaks for all of us. Our Sen. Dayton is good, too

[saltpoint]

6. Massachusetts has two winners, and Illinois.

Can I have all four of those senators? Please?

And throw in Barbara Boxer, too.

[ClassWarrior]

7. You all can be jealous of me. Russ Feingold's mine.

And I'll be shaking his hand this week.

Nya-nya... B-)

NGU.

[loro mi dicevano]

9. I AM jealous. ;) But the fact that you live in Wisconsin pretty much

evens out my jealousy (argh! Just kidding!).

[TayTay]

10. My bad state is Oklahoma

Nothing short of a lobotomy could make me take those two. (Inhofe, who had a screed on the Senate floor two weeks ago about how Global Warming is a big left-wing conspiracy theory and Coburn, OMG!)

Kansas is real bad as well.

Worst speaker in the Senate: Lamar Alexander. The great speeches of Lamar Alexander is what is constantly playing in hell's waiting room.

[Hippo_Tron]

28. Oklahoma is probably worst senate delegation

[TN Young Dem]

35. i don't think so

Coburn and Inhofe are pretty bad....but they beat Frist and Alexander any day!

[cestpaspossible]

8. Kennedy and Kerry

what a duo

[DisassemblingHisLies]

11. Massachusetts & California.

Kerry/Kennedy: Ideal

California: Close second with Boxer only.

Honorable mention: Chris Dodd of Connecticut. The man blows me away with his common-sense approach to every issue I've heard him discuss.

[Gay Green]

53. California, Mass., Vermont and New York

I'm in Louisiana and I have a Senator who's gone DINO over the filibuster (like Lieberman) and another one who's an out-and-out Scumpublican of Superstition.

[loro mi dicevano]

12. I'm 50-50 for good senators here, although I'm pretty jealous of

Illinois, and probably Massachusetts & New Jersey.

[smartvoter]

14. Mass. nt

[undergroundpanther]

15. I like Barbara Mikulski

In Maryland
Wish we had a decent govenor.

[Gay Green]

55. My condolences about your Guv

I heard he's a Scumpublican of Superstition, like TX Guv Goodhair and Mass. Robot-Guv Mitt Romney

[johnaries]

16. My Senators are Frist and Alexander....

I'm jealous of EVERYBODY'S Senators!

[TN Young Dem]

18. the tn plague

sucks...doesn't it???


Where in TN are you?

[johnaries]

27. Welcome to DU!

Yes, it do suck. I'm in Pegram, right on the western border of Nashville. I grew up in Nashville. My house is in the woods adjacent to the Cheatham Wildlife Management Area, but only minutes from Downtown Nashville via I-40. The best of both worlds!

Where are you?

[TN Young Dem]

31. Thanks...glad to be here

In Morristown--East TN. About 50-60 east of Knoxville.

[johnaries]

37. I know Morristown! Most of my relatives live around K-town.

Sorry, much redder section than my area. It's pretty purple where I live, although I work in Brentwood which is very affluent and therefore VERY red! Marsha Blackburn's home. Gotta have them tax cuts!

[Clark2008]

65. Yep... Tennessee is too pretty a state to be stuck with such ugly

senators!

:hi: from Knoxville!

[TN Young Dem]

17. You think you all have it bad....

Try having to put up with "The Good Doctor"(yawn) Bill Frist & "I couldn't win the presidency, so being senator will have to do" Lamar Alexander.....


Clinton
Schumer
Kerry
Kennedy
Boxer
Durbin
Obama
Byrd
Dayton
Leahy
Pryor
....yeah, I'll take any of 'em!!!

[4_TN_TITANS]

19. Screwed in Tennessee,

needless to say. Of course Frist is a POS. Alexander isn't a totally bad guy (former governor) but he's lockstep with the Repubs in his votes. He rarely if ever responds to emails also.

I'd love to have Boxer, Kennedy, and/or Kerry ::sigh::

[TN Young Dem]

33. eh

I have never had a response from alexander, and I email and mail him quite frequently. As for Frist, I recieve a bs "we must do this to preserve our traditional conservative values" reply.



But, the good thing is Frist's term is almost up. Hopefully, we elect a DEM....if not, it's hopeless

[bklyncowgirl]

20. I'm from New Jersey and I'm not jealous of anybody

Lautenberg and Corzine are both very good--not perfect but very good.

[judy from nj]

60. Agree

The 2 Jersey Senators are great. My congressman, Rush Holt is great too.

[bklyncowgirl]

62. He's my congressman too--great guy. nt

[Sweet Freedom]

21. Heck, I'm in Texas...

stuck with KBH, box-turtle-lovin' Cronyn, AND I live in DeLay's district. I'll take anyone else! :P

[TayTay]

22. Okay, you get my vote for person I would NOT trade with ever

You have my sympathies. Oklahoma is bad, but Cornyn gives small Dem children nightmares.

[Hippo_Tron]

29. Refer to her by her proper name: Jabba the Hutch

[splat@14]

48. she's still pissed about the house falling on her sister........n/t

[splat@14]

47. OMG! consider therapy. Actually, I'm in the same boat (raft) only I

have to deal with Kevin Brady instead of DeLay. Doesn't matter too much, Brady is lockstep with Delay, just doesn't come across as as big an asshole.

It aint all bad, we gave `em Hightower, Ivins, Stevie Ray Vaughn, ZZ-Top and Sheila Jackson Lee.

[Patchuli]

52. I love and miss Stevie Ray

and actually had him hang out with us for an afternoon, long ago and a while before he got famous. He was not only one of the best guitarmen that ever drew breath but just a heck of a nice guy too. I swear the too-good die young...

Doesn't * make you Texans really sick considering he's a Connecticut pussywimp? A 'cowboy' that's afraid of horses??? hahahahahahaaaa :rofl:

[Gay Green]

56. Well you KNOW why he's AFRAID of horses...

First Lady "Pickles" told us the reason at her debut performance as comedienne.

[Patchuli]

63. Buuhuuuwhahahaaaaa!

That's funny!!

BTW, Gay Green welcome to DU!! :hi:

[splat@14]

57. Yep, I skipped * on purpose. SRV was one of the very best.....

his rhythm section (Double Trouble, Tommy Shannon and Chris Layton) are still together. Toured with Buddy Guy and session with others.

We'll never know the music that man could have created but he gave us so much before he left that we can appreciate him for all that he did.

[Patchuli]

61. And I'll always kick myself in the ass too

because he had his acoustic guitar with him that afternoon and I didn't ask for a tune...!!

[demokatgurrl]

23. CALIFORNIA. AND NEW YORK. n/t

[demokatgurrl]

24. CALIFORNIA. AND NEW YORK. n/t

[LibDemAlways]

25. I'm from Calif. I'll keep Boxer, but

I'd gladly get rid of Feinstein and get another real Dem in there.

[Blue Belle]

26. I'll Keep Wyden...

But I'm ready to trade Smith for a Democrat... come '08 he's in trouble!!

[Hippo_Tron]

30. I have Landrieu and Vitter, not the worst, certainly not the best...

Just what I'm stuck with

[TN Young Dem]

34. 1 out of 2

I could deal with Landrieu, but Vitter....NO WAY!

[Hippo_Tron]

36. Landrieu is turning out to be pretty bad lately

It's good to have at least one person with a D next to their name as my senator, thus she'll get my vote again in 2008, but she's nothing special.

[deadparrot]

32. Massachusetts'. nt

[usregimechange]

38. Take Feingold, not take Sessions, Mitch, or Coryn

[tsuki]

39. Connecticutt. Senator Dodd is wonderful.

[ArtVandaley]

40. Illinois

Has two of the best men in the senate.

[OzarkDem]

41. Mass & New York

Michigan a close third.

[AspenRose]

42. Ditto

I'm in NM (Domenici country).

[globalvillage]

43. Rubbin it in again, hey Tay Tay???

You know my vote.

[election_2004]

44. I'm in Wisconsin....

....can I trade Herb Kohl for Barbara Boxer?

[cascadiance]

45. Vermont, especially after 2006!

Even though I'm from California, where I'm especially proud of Boxer, I'd take Patrick Leahy any day, and Jeffords has shown a lot of strength and wisdom in turning away from the Republican party and being a people's politician.

Hopefully they will break ground for independents in 2006 when they elect independent Bernie Sanders to replace Jeffords in the "independent" slot! Bernie's awesome and with Leahy will be an great pair of reps for Vermonters (and many others too)!

[dansolo]

46. Vermont

Even though I'm from Illinois, so I don't have a lot to be jealous of, but I really like Leahy and Jeffords.

[Patchuli]

50. I think folks might be jealous of my Senator

Barbara Boxer!!! Yeah baby!

Feinstein? eeehhh...

[tinfoilinfor2005]

51. California gets Barbara Boxer...

and I get Bill Nelson. :(

[sakabatou]

68. Now if only we could replace Feinstein...

[atommom]

54. Everybody else's, especially CA and NY. I have two wingnuts as

my senators ... Brownback and Roberts.

[JHBowden]

58. My state has the best senators!

:woohoo:

[TheFarseer]

59. No duo from any one state is perfect

Feingold and Kohl are pretty good. Dodd and Leiberman is pretty good. Kerry and Kennedy is a good combo. I think Schumer is the best Senator in the country so I'll take NY in spite of Clinton who I suppose is fine as a Senator.

[Withywindle]

64. What is this "jealous" thing you speak of?

I'm in Illinois. Not feelin' it. :evilgrin:

But if I had to trade, the only real option is MA. Maybe MD. Or CA or WI, because Boxer and Feingold are so cool they can carry their lukewarm colleagues.


Now, there's a long way down to go from Mr. Durbin and Mr. Obama; lots of places look Senatorially scary. I'm going to have to say worst case scenario: OK or TX. :scared:

[MuseRider]

66. Anyone who has

at least ONE Democratic Senator or even a decent, moderate Republican or even anyone who would actually write back or discuss things with. I am in Kansas with Brownback and Roberts, it is very lonely. They don't show up for meetings if they know you are not a Republican, it really stinks and it has been like this for years now.

[Joebert]

67. Any that aren't the ones Colorado is stuck with.

Allard is a Republican, so he doesn't know any better.

Salazar is a failure. Within months of winning the seat, he voted on the bankruptcy bill.
