What is the political composition of your state's US Senate delegation?

[elperromagico]

Poll question: What is the political composition of your state's US Senate delegation?

[NMDemDist2]

1. my senators are DU swear words, McCain and Kyl

fun huh?

[RUDUing2]

40. I will trade you..mine are Bond and Talent...

and Danforth and Ashcroft used to be...

[mattclearing]

2. What's a Senate delegation?

DC resident.

[baba]

4. How does that work, anyway?

You DC residents get NO representation? I don't get it. What's up with that? How do they justify that?

[mattclearing]

8. Not a state.

No constitutional mandate for representation.

Supposedly DC wasn't intended to inhabited by anyone but gasbags on Capitol Hill and in the White House.

Someone should have told the 600,000 of us who moved in about that.

[baba]

10. What about "No taxation without representation."

Do they consider the Virginia or Maryland senators and representatives to represent DC residents? How does it work? I always wondered about that....

[mattclearing]

12. Nope.

The District doesn't generate enough in taxes to pay for itself. Our government is more or less subsidized by the Feds.

Maryland and Virginia argue over who pays less for Metro, the Beltway, etc.

[baba]

14. That's crazy!

It seems...unconstitutional.

[mattclearing]

16. Nope.

Perfectly Constitutional. We aren't a state.

[Cheswick2.0]

21. But you guys have the best voting record

What accounts for the overwhelming democratic constituency?

[mattclearing]

23. We get an up close look at what goes on here.

And it IS a city.

I'm still impressed.

We broke for Kerry 90% to 9. NINETY PERCENT!

DC delivers.

You red state people, and you know who you are, you need to start persuading your neighbors.

[theboss]

42. All the black people

Seriously.....

[Goathead]

3. Inouye and Akaka

I have met them both

[xultar]

5. KKK n/t

[Bouncy Ball]

6. Sigh.

Must I say their names?

Hutchinson and Cornyn, both slimeballs of the nth degree.

One of them (can't remember which) even co-sponsored the FMA. No shock there. They are hateful little turds.

[stevedeshazer]

7. We have the ONLY repub senator on the west coast

Okay, besides Alaska.

Gordon "Pea Packer" Smith.



But we have Ron Wyden, who is an excellent Democratic senator.

[Danocrat]

9. It doesn't get much worse than

DeWine & Voinovich

[JohnKleeb]

15. sure it does

Warner and Allen.

[angrydemocrat]

50. Mine Is Worse

Frist and Alexander

[baldguy]

11. I love NY

[mattclearing]

25. I'm a big fan of the Clintons

But that picture of Hillary gives me the willies.

[MaineDem]

13. Two "moderate GOP" Senators

If that isn't an oxymoron then we have two of them.

Snowe and Collins. The first much better than the latter.

[norml]

17. One often called a RINO and one often called a DINO

In Nebraska.

[absolutezero]

18. two dems

corzine and lautenberg

[Cheswick2.0]

19. Man on Dog + Magic Bullet Anita Hill abuser

I'm proud

[OneBlueSky]

20. Clinton and Schumer . . . two Republicrats . . . n/t

.

[Ediacara]

22. Burns and Baucus

A TERRIBLE Republican, and a not terribly good Democrat.

[BBG]

24. Patty and Maria

Dig it, two women and another in the handcount for governor. Methinks the feminine direction would benefit our society versus the patriarchal warmongering ethos.

[AntiCoup2K4]

37. Don't mind 2 female senators at all

Just wish Maria wasn't such a neocon corporatist :(

[fujiyama]

26. Two of the best in the senate

Levin and Stabenaw.

They're both great.

[vanboggie]

30. Carl & Debbie are awesome n/t

[JNelson6563]

33. Hear! Hear!

They make me proud!

:toast:

[Petrushka]

27. Byrd & Rockefeller

[juslikagrzly]

28. I believe OK wins hands down

in the psychotic senators category

Coburn (infamous for rampant lesbianism, death penalty for abortion doctors)
and
Inhofe (just plain crazy asshat)

Help me! I'm stuck in red hell

[TSIAS]

29. 1 D, 1 R

Technically, Graham is still in office, so FL has two Dem senators.

Unfortunately, Mel Martinez will be joining Bill Nelson shortly in the Senate.

[donheld]

31. We are the opposite here in Colorado

We now have 2 repuglicans. Thankfully as of the next session we will have Democrat Ken Salazar Replace Repuglican "turncoat" Ben Nighthorse Campbell. Sadly we retain Repuglican Bastard Wayne Allard.

[hoosierblue]

32. One of the few good things I can say about Indiana....

is we have two pretty decent senators: Bayh and Lugar. Lugar is a Republican, and even though I disagree with him on so many issues, he was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize and he actually votes his conscience. Bayh was an excellent governor, and whilst he is a watered-down liberal, he knows how to get Repubs to agree with him.

[SteveG]

34. Two Dems in DE

Biden and Carper

[MrSlayer]

35. Two of the worst Rick "maniac" Santorum and Arlen "Magic Bullet" Specter.

Yick.

[mantis49]

36. Durbin and Obama

YES!

[Fifth of Five]

38. Billy "kitty killer" Frist and Lamar! Alexander

UGH!

[angrydemocrat]

51. LMAO

Good Description Of Frist.

[BrightKnight]

39. I live in the gerrymandered state of Texas

Our officials were appointed by Tom DeLay and the NeoCon party.

[RUDUing2]

41. Kit "ashcroft lite" Bond and Jim "ashcroft minime" Talent..nuff said?

[mvd]

43. 2 Repukes

One really bad Repuke - Santorum!

[Sputnik]

44. Both AR senators are Dems

but lean more to the right than I would prefer.

I miss former Senator Dale Bumpers. He often tells AR audiences to whom he speaks, "Do you know why, when I served this state, you always thought I was more liberal than you? Because I was."

Yet he was re-elected over and over because Arkansans knew he stood for something, even if they didn't always agree with him.

If you love political books, you really should read Dale's book....it's a fun and worthwhile read.

-------------------------------------------------------------
...Dale Bumpers was reared during the depths of the Great Depression, in the miserably poor town of Charleston, Arkansas, population 851. He was twelve years old when he saw and heard Franklin Roosevelt, who was campaigning in the state. Afterward, his father assured young Dale that he, too, could be president.

Many years later, in 1970, after suffering financial disaster and personal tragedy, Bumpers ran for governor of Arkansas, starting out with one-percent name recognition and $50,000, most of which was borrowed from his brother and sister. He defeated arch-segregationist Orval Faubus in the primary and a Rockefeller in the general election. He served four years as governor and then twenty-four years in the U.S. Senate.....

45. Specter and Santorum

Hopefully we can knock Rick "Who cares if the Allegheny School district has to pay for my kid's education, who are living in Virginia" Santorum off in 2006.

[AlinPA]

46. PA: Two slimy maggots.

[cyn2]

47. 2 Repubs from Maine--Good ones.

They are both "Moderate". Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins. Bush even ran a campaign against Snowe when she didn't "obey".

It was during the time after the Iraq war started. People throughout the country were dissing the French. Remember "Freedom Fries"?

Anyway, in order to pressure Snowe to comply, I think it was the tax cuts, Bush ran an ad with Snowe and Chirac on the screen together hoping to capitalize on the current xenophobia.

Upshot was, approximately 1/3 of the state of Maine is of French decent.

That was a good one. Something backfired on Rove's slimy tactics!

[Spiffarino]

48. Burr and Dole

I said two Repubs, but it's actually a D and an R. By January 2nd, there will be two Republicans unless we can get a recount in NC. That will never happen, of course, because NC laws don't make for easy recounting of the votes. No doubt this comes from our "good ol' boy" Dixiecrat past.

[GreenPartyVoter]

49. Snowe and Collins here. Really wanted to trade Susan in for Pingree

but no dice.
