My Senators can beat up your Senators
IMHO, Virginia has the best two Senators of any state. We used to have the great John Warner, a first class public servant if ever there was one, but we also had the loathsome George Allen, whose mean-spiritedness was matched only by his inability to do anything productive as Governor or Senator. Then Senator Allen had his macaca moment - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r90z0PMnKwI - paving the way for the election of the excellent Jim Webb. John Warner has since retired, but he was replaced by Mark Warner (no relation), who seems to excel at everything he tries.
Now we have Senator Webb doing something we rarely see in Washington - trying to actually govern instead of playing silly political games: Quote:

If your senator can't beat up our senator, Michael Bennett, former Denver School Superintendant with zero political experience appointed to the office by the Governor, you're in serious trouble.

Would your senators please beat up my senators? Pat Roberts and Sam Brownback
It appears Brownback will be running for governor this election. I can't imagine the damage he will do.

We usually send the class clown to the House or Senate.
The more I think about it, the more I think we should have a law AGAINST elected people spending more than 4 consecutive months in DC. |

All it took was me leaving the state. I agree completely with your assessment.

(Former Garden Stater talking here) NY has the Chuckie the clown and "What's her name?" the Hillary replacement. WV has Senator Byrd (The Grand Duke of WV) and Jay Rockefeller (the other guy) At least Byrd brings home some pork.

In indiana we have Lugar, R and Bayh, D. each are very principled honorable men, who both govern from the center. I am proud to have both of them.
We have some wing dingy congressmen though.

One of my Senators can bring home more pork, with just one arm, than any of your two Senators combined.

On topic, I like Webb. I couldn't stand Allen. Before the Macaca moment. Good riddance.

why don't you like Lugar? When he ran for president he took uncharacteristicly far right positions on various subjects but went back to normal after he dropped out. He normally is centrist and willing to speak his mind even if it differs from an R pres.
