Who SHOULD be the Minority Leader of the U.S. Senate?

[demdiva]

No judgments here. I'm honestly curious who DU would like to see in Harry Reid's position. Reid or somebody else? Who else? Why?

[saltpoint]

1. I like Sens. Dodd and Durbin for that job. / nt

[demdiva]

2. I think Durbin would be good

[Zen Democrat]

3. Russ Feingold.

[Straight Shooter]

4. I'll second that.

Ted Kennedy, though?

[Hubert Flottz]

11. I agree!

[Zen Democrat]

5. On second thought ... I think Min. Leader should be Trent Lott - next year

[demdiva]

7. LOL

Yes I meant DEMOCRATIC leader. But of course I'd prefer if the Democratic leader were the Majority Leader!

[karlrschneider]

6. Bill Frist.

Oh, you meant...
:eyes:

9. LOL2

10. Was just going to say the same thing! nt

[stillcool]

8. We need a Boxer.....,

and, I don't mean Harry Reid. Chris Dodd, Russ Feingold,... anyone who can kick ass and take names.

12. Boxer Rebellion - NOW! eom

[Crunchy Frog]

13. Barbara Boxer. n/t

[demdiva]

14. Any thoughts beyond

Durbin, Boxer, Feingold . . .
I've heard the most support for Durbin.

[Cocoa]

15. Harry Reid

[Mika]

16. Bill Frist.

The Dems should be the majority! :kick:

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

17. It would be nice to have a progressive Democrat for a change.

Instead of the pandering collaborators like Daschle and Reid.

[FreedomAngel82]

18. My choices

Barbara Boxer or Durbin.

[instantkarma]

19. Emmanuel Lewis

just because he's so goddamned cute.

[napi21]

20. I have a question. Is the position of minority leader

perhapse not a leadership spot?

The reason I ask is that, to me, the ideal person would be Teddy Kennedy! He's by far the strongest Dem in the Senate! Would that be considered a demotion for him?

[thatsrightimirish]

21. Boxer Rebellion Resurrection!

NOW!

[Not_Giving_Up]

22. Boxer

Hands down.

[Pryderi]

23. Kennedy, Kerry or Boxer.

[LittleClarkie]

24. Before Reid was picked, I started sending emails to all the Senators

asking them to make Kerry the minority leader.

In some ways, he already is.

I dunno. I still kinda like "Give em Hell" Harry.

He was pretty spiffy when he shut down the Senate, you must admit.

[spuddonna]

25. Boxer... n/t
