Companion poll: Which state has the best pair of senators?

[marmar]

As much as I want to vote for my homies - Levin/Stabenow, and as fantastic as I think the Kennedy/Kerry duopoly is, and even though Barbara Boxer counts as two senators to make up for the uninspiring DiFi....I think I've got to give it up for Bernie Sanders and Pat Leahy.

[Canuckistanian]

1. Leahy and Sanders? It's a no-brainer.

I agree.

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

2. As great as Ted and John are from MA

it's gotta be Vermont's dynamic duo.

[nevergiveup]

3. Illinois!!!!!!!

and I am not going to budge.

[tokenlib]

4. Had to vote for MA just to keep pace with MI.....

Stabenow and her DLC persona drag down the MI duo into the ditch

[TheFarseer]

5. I'll go Vermont

but I'm disappointed North Dakota isn't one of the choices.

[Changenow]

6. Not Arkansas.

Which was wisely not on the list, despite two supposedly "Democratic" senators.

[yourout]

7. As much as Kohl has dissapointed me lately I still have to give it to Senator Feingold.

[beltanefauve]

8. You're WAY too kind

describing Di Fi as merely "uninspiring." I can come up with much harsher adjectives than that!

[marmar]

14. I did too, but I'm a peaceful man (to quote Eddie Murphy in "Trading Places"}

9. Kennedy and Kerry! And it's not close!

[begin_within]

10. Jim Webb and anyone

[opiate69]

11. Gotta give honorable mention to my Duo. Murray/Cantwell...

But yeah.. Leahy/Sanders is an awesome tandem.

[uppityperson]

12. I'd agree, if only Cantwell would come around more.

She's getting better, but still not enough. Murray is great though.

[opiate69]

13. True, true.. but Maria's tenacity against "Big Oil" almost makes me forgive some of the other issues

almost

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

16. Maria surpassed my nose holding limit in '06. But, Murray is great.

[JNelson6563]

15. As a Michigander I had to go with my own!

But some seriously excellent choices there. Still, I am often very proud to read both my Senators' names on lists of who voted the right way on various issues.

17. I could vote several times if you would let me

that is. Amazing that if one is to set down and take a look at the senators they can see we have a lot of fine ones and everyone of them are dems along with Bernie Sanders. I love me some democratic Senators, many of them too.

just had a flash of wouldn't it be something if Obama picked Bernie for his vp spot.
