If Senator Reid steps down, who would you like his replacement to be?

[jmowreader]

I'm going with Senator Bernie Sanders. Those fuckers think the president is this super huge liberal, let's give 'em a REAL one for once.

Let's get even better: Barney Frank as Speaker of the House and extreme liberal to be named later as House Majority Whip. Maybe Loretta Sanchez, the woman who unseated B-1 Bob.

1. Feingold.

Excuse me now. My hookah just went out.

[laughingliberal]

2. Feingold it is. nt

[grytpype]

13. Oh wow, mine too! Heavy, man!

[Jackpine Radical]

22. Aw, Jeez, is that a coincidence or what!

It must mean something, Dude.

[GreenPartyVoter]

19. Feingold or Boxer maybe?

[Nite Owl]

3. I'd love to see Bernie

or Feingold too but I think they do this by rank and it would likely be Schumer or Durbin maybe.

[rurallib]

10. Bernie would be my first choice, but is he a Dem?

[Nite Owl]

12. He's and Indepentant

but he caucuses with the dems so I guess they wouldn't allow that.

[StarfarerBill]

11. Ditto. Sanders or Feingold. Even Harkin or Franken would be fine.

4. If the moon changes colors...

.... what will the new color be?

[Jackpine Radical]

7. It's bright pink on my world.

What about yours?

[madrchsod]

5. feingold or durbin

sanders could`t be because he`s an independent

[jillan]

6. Sheldon Whitehouse. Love him. He is brilliant and not afraid to speak truth to power.

That said - Reid isn't going anywhere - unless he loses in November.

And Sheldon is way down on the list because he is so new.

[Jackpine Radical]

9. The reality is, it won't be anyone perceptibly to the left of the center of gravity.

[WT Fuheck]

8. It doesn't make any difference.

draw names out of a hat. The outcome will be identical.

[scarletwoman]

14. Al Franken!

Okay, I know that's right out. But the thought tickles me no end. :D

[WhiteTara]

15. Sanders isn't a Democrat

and would never be asked. But Barbara Boxer would be a great choice.

[Forkboy]

16. Eddie Izzard.

[gateley]

23. Cake. nt

[Forkboy]

24. We weren't expecting such a run...

:)

[BlueIdaho]

27. You'll need a tray...

[Forkboy]

28. What, did you dry these in a rainforest?

:rofl:

[napi21]

17. That's true! Bernie woulde be GREAT! I wouldn't mind

Schumer, or either of the new guy Sherod Brown, or Ron Wyden or Dick Durbin. All of them are strong Dems & would do a great job!

[depakid]

18. Durbin

He's at least willing to acknowledge "who runs the place" -and he doesn't like it.

Best thing that'll happen for Dems in 2010 is that, one way or another- Harry Reid will be gone.

[cali]

20. fantasy politics. Bernie is not a dem. And "we" can't give them anything

as we have zip, zero, nada influence over the process. In any case, Harry won't be stepping down. this sort of speculation is so dumb.

[Mass]

21. I'd like Durbin, but my guess is that we would get Schumer.

He has the ego and ambition to fight and get this.

(Of course Sanders would be great, but this is not going to happen, nor Feingold).

Not going to happen anyway.

[WolverineDG]

25. Someone with a pair & a spine

Boxer

dg

[KamaAina]

26. John Kerry

sad to say, Loretta Sanchez is a Blue Dog. She only looked like an extreme liberal next to B-1. Jim McDermott, maybe?

[dtsteelsmith]

29. the ghost of Harry Truman

The Buck needs to be stopping somewhere in Washington these days...

[valerief]

30. Sanders, Feingold, and Whitehouse can rotate the role. nt
