1. And Not One Woman In The Bunch

Thanks a lot.

[NMDemDist2]

3. Boxer isn't a woman? and Pelosi runs the whole shooting match

in the House

I think the ladies will be well represented in the new congress

[Bucky]

4. Except Barbara Boxer, of course. But it probably is less than representative of Congress

[katinmn]

5. Sen. Barbara Boxer on Environment; Pelosi in the most powerful spot

but I agree it is pitiful that women are not in half the chairs.

9. I Missed Barbara Boxer

I'm sure she will shine at Committee Chairmanship

[Bucky]

2. bookmarked

Looks very good. Especially encouraging is Lantos, a holocaust survivor, in charge of the House committee on International Relations.

6. Problem with Lantos is that he agrees with Bush 100% on Israel. eom

7. I have only one problem with that list ..... Alcee Hastings

Not a good public face for our party.

I have no quarrel with the guy, just a PR issue.

8. Is this official? Alcee Hastings for Intel

I'm not sure how I feel about that.
