2. He can stand in for DiFi here in Cali anytime

Wish he could still do his radio show...

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

7. but you do have his good buddy, Sherrod Brown

who aint too shabby

[jillan]

3. He is turning out to be one of the best Senators ever.

[beyurslf]

4. Can KS draft him to be ours too?

[PSzymeczek]

5. I'd love to be able to swap McLame and Kyl

if I could get Al and Bernie.

[Rhiannon12866]

6. K&R. I like my senators here in NY.

But I love Al Franken. :patriot:

[vaberella]

8. Gillibrand and Schumer rock. We have to make Palladino doesn't win any seat though. n/t

[Rhiannon12866]

9. Schumer and Gillibrand are certainly better than most...

I'm particularly supportive of Gillibrand because she was my congresswoman until she was appointed senator last year. Think she's doing a great job... :)

As for Paladino, he's got to be the most offensive candidate on any planet. I don't think he stands a chance against Cuomo, but even hearing from him for two months is two months too long... x(
