Good choices!

[PBS Poll-435]

20. During the Summer and Fall of 06, they were my favorite faces on C-SPAN

Almost every night they were on the floor of the House giving "special orders" speeches to an empty room on every issue under the sun.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/30_Something_Working_Group

[Wetzelbill]

25. yes, I watched some of their stuff here and there

Gabby Giffords is my rep too. I always liked Tim Ryan's fiery 1 minutes speeches, he's great.

[PBS Poll-435]

26. You have a good Rep! Your Senators on the other hand...

:yoiks:

[Wetzelbill]

18. Brian Schweitzer, Ted Kennedy and DK

Byron Dorgan

Janet Napolitano

Jon Tester

Raul Grijalva

Joe Biden

Marcy Kaptur

Russ Feingold

John Kerry

Barbara Boxer

Max Baucus

Jim Webb

Bill Richardson

Chris Dodd

and DNC chairman Howard Dean.

[jpgray]

21. Kucinich, Feingold, and Sanders (he's a caucusing Dem, after all).

:)

[La Lioness Priyanka]

22. kennedy, kerry, feingold, boxer, pelosi

yeah i like pelosi

[mvd]

23. Kucinich, Kennedy, and Boxer

:hi:

[bigwillq]

24. Kucinich, Boxer, Kennedy

:)

[Forkboy]

27. Kucinich, Kennedy, Feingold, and Barney Frank.

Had to pick 4, sorry. :)

[hulklogan]

28. Tammy Baldwin, Barney Frank, and in 2009, Jared Polis (my future congress critter!)

[Essene]

29. mike bloomberg (giggle), cory booker and perhaps kennedy

i say kennedy because he's such a good man who works hard to find bipartisan meeting ground on the most important issues.

[spooky3]

30. Al Franken, Mark Warner, Bachmann's opponent

OK, so I am a little early! :-)

[Phx_Dem]

31. Kennedy, Webb, Bidin, Feingold. Sorry that's 4.

Hillary is not in my top 3, but I'm curious as to why you excluded her.

[OwnedByFerrets]

32. Hes not a dem, but votes with us...Bernie Sanders is the best

of them all.

[dansolo]

33. Schweitzer, Boxer, and Wexler

I'm not so keen on most of the old guard in the Democratic Party. I like seeing some new blood.

Of course, I am assuming that Dean doesn't count because he isn't an elected official, or else he would be on the top of my list.

[Meshuga]

34. Kennedy, Feingold, and Kerry n/t

[AnnieBW]

35. Babs Mikulski, Barbara Boxer, and Russ Feingold

Tough choice, though. Biden, Webb, Cardin, Casey, Van Hollen, Kaine, and others come pretty close.

Eric Massa (Knocking off Randy Kuhl in NY)
Jim Martin (Guess what Saxby - you f*cked Cleland - now we f*ck you back :rofl: )

[PBS Poll-435]

49. I forgot about Louise Slaughter!

:dunce: <-- Me

[JustAnotherGen]

57. I love Louise

She was awesome to me 'personally' during the Global Crossing fiasco. Called the FBI the Federal Bumbling Idiots :rofl: and directed me 'directly' to the SEC to blow the whistle. She's awesome! Warmest and kindest lady you'd ever want to meet!

[PBS Poll-435]

81. When I was in Niagara Falls....

I had a few extra minutes and I stopped by Rep. Slaughter's office there.

Just wanted to voice my appreciation of her to her staffers. They were very nice.

And I scored a donut!

Honorable mention to Rahm Emmanuel.

[ronnykmarshall]

61. Kennedy, Boxer, Waxman

[Samantha]

62. Kennedy, Byrd and Feingold

I love many others, including Biden, Dodd, Boxer.

Byrd will always be a standout to me because of his strong position against the Iraq war.

My favorite all time Democrat is Al Gore. Smart, candid, gets things done.

There should be a Democratic Hall of Fame. Why don't we start one? Wellstone should be in it. Some of our truly great Democrats should NEVER be forgotten, never. FDR, Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter.

[PBS Poll-435]

83. DeFazio is a good one!

(Native Oregonian)

:)

[quakerboy]

84. Eh. I got here the honest way

The way all the best people do. From California, through Colorado. While I was still young enough to absorb enough Oregon goodness, but still old enough to understand that Portland drivers need a lot of help.

[PBS Poll-435]

85. :-)

My path is slightly more complicated.

OR -> AZ -> OR -> AZ -> TX

:D

[Sunnyshine]

John Lewis, Dennis Kucinich, Jon Tester

[mwei924]

80. Boxer, Kennedy.. and

[Indiana_Dem]

82. I can't pick 3! Kennedy, Kerry, Kucinich, Boxer, Schweitzer, Levin, Durbin-oh crap I can't do it.

There was also a distinguished gray-haired AA guy with glasses. I forget his name. I really liked him but haven't seen him in awhile. Maybe he retired. I used to see him in a lot of hearings on cspan.

[Stellabella]

86. Kennedy, Feingold, Kucinich

[LiberalHeart]

87. Hillary, Boxer, Kaptur
