If you could trade one elected official in your state for another (Same position) who would you pick |
|
You can take any elected official in your state and swap them with someone of the same position in another state.
I actually have it good in Delaware, we are pretty blue - but I would swap my lone republican representative for Rep Greyson. That would be a nice swap!!

2. I would trade Jim Inhofe for Barbara Boxer. |
|
And could Barbara kick some ass around here! (And there's a lot of ass that needs to be kicked!)

4. One approach would be to swap my Congressional 'representative' for one from a liberal district ... |
|
somewhere else. Not only would I get a better rep, but Dr. Burgess would not survive in even a moderate district.
The downside is that the good, liberal rep I got from somewhere else might not survive the next election in my district.
That said, OK I'd take Greyson -- on the basis that he HAS managed to be elected from a conservative area of Florida.

Anybody need some extra elected officials. We have a special going.
We'll even deliver, and throw in some state legislators on the side.

9. I was torn between whether to trade out Carper or Castle, |
|
but since Castle is definitely sitting on the wrong side of the aisle, I'll go with trading him out. I'll take Grayson too. If we had to pick someone local, I'd have to hunt around. Beau Biden and Carney are real possibilities, but I'd like someone more liberal than they would be. Can't put my finger on someone right now.
