Reply #37: I'd nominate our Cal Gal, Barbara Boxer. One FINE woman, and [View All]

[calimary]

a GRAND DEM.

For me it'd be - in no particular order -

Boxer
Kennedy
Byrd
Leahy
and last but ABSOLUTELY NOT LEAST, the great, principled Jim Jeffords!

I'd give honorable mention to Feingold (simply because I, too, don't know enough about him), Levin, Harkin and Reid, plus the New Yorkers, Clinton and Schumer, and Dick Durbin. Tom Daschle gets extra points, too, for weathering the anthrax scandal (wonder WHY he was singled out) AND for engineering the Jim Jeffords defection. That was the first big blow to bush, back in the early days of this monstrous regime.

on edit - added the New Yorkers and Durbin to the list.
