I love Senator Sheldon Whitehouse!

[MoonRiver]

What a brilliant, articulate man! His was the best opening statement for Sotomayor of the day, imho! So happy he won the R.I. seat! :)

[Captain Hilts]

1. He AND Reed are really great. nt

[MoonRiver]

3. I missed Reid's statement.

But from previous exposure to the speeches of both, I vastly prefer Whitehouse.

11. Reed of RI, not Reid of Nevada

Different Senators. Neither Reed is on the Judiciary Committee.

[MoonRiver]

12. Oh, ok.

:blush:

[MiniMe]

14. It is confusing

no need to blush.

[MoonRiver]

16. I also like Reed, but Whitehouse truly stands out as stellar.

:hi:

[tridim]

2. He's going places.

[MoonRiver]

5. Do you think his name is an omen?

I believe he's pretty young, so anything is possible.

[malaise]

4. He was excellent

Bravo Senator Whitehouse - you tore the RWs a new one.

[oldtime dfl_er]

6. Coburn is out of his mind

and Sotomayor is trying very hard to have a serious and studied look on her face while this douchebag pontificates.

[rurallib]

7. he is really twisting things.

[Serial Mom]

8. I left the room when he started.... n/t

[Still Sensible]

13. Yes, my state's continuing embarrassment. n/t

9. Line forms to the right for the 'Lovin' SHelden Whitehouse' club

:loveya:

[MoonRiver]

10. Yes, indeed!

From his very first Senate speech, can't remember what it was about, but, he absolutely stood out as star material!

[MoonRiver]

15. For the one who unrec'd me,

why do you HATE Democrats, especially Senator Whitehouse? :shrug:
