Reid CANNOT be allowed to become the minority leader

[Walt Starr]

We MUST put a minority leader in who has a safe seat in a Blue State or we are sunk on the court.

[trotsky]

1. Russ Feingold.

The only Senator to vote against the PATRIOT act.

[librechik]

6. didn't we lose Feingold last night?

I lost track of him while he was behind

[Walt Starr]

7. Nope, he won.

Dick Duirbin is a better choice. John KErry would be another.

[Crago]

13. Dick Duirbin is a better choice

I agree.

[Zynx]

12. Nope-crushed Michels.

Rightwing asshat got pwned by Russ. :evilgrin:

[greenbriar]

2. Kerry if we can't get it out of the thiefs hands

george bush is a motherfucker

[truhavoc]

3. How about Kerry? Does he have what it takes to stand up??

I am not conceeding, but we need someone who is safe and is not a target for the repugs. We need to be proud of our progressive roots, and say what we mean and take the country back. We all supported JK to motivate the nation, why not the senate??

[SoFlaJet]

4. Chris Dodd

Harry is a good man but another too-nice-guy

[RedEagle]

11. Not Dodd

Dodd was a senate sponsor of the HAVA Act.

(Help Anyone but Americans Vote Act)

Dodd signed a letter with Mitchell, Hoyer and Ney AGAINST paper ballots.

Down the road, Dodd has to be replaced.

[placton]

5. yeah, another Daschle is not needed

we are gonna be the minority party for a decade or 2 - we need to put up some fighters on a national level. But, just wait - we will have a couple senators jump to GYP, and lotsa "statesman" who will let the Repukes run all over them.

I have little sorrow about Daschle - he was a true wimp.

[Paradise]

8. In case you didn't know it, Walt Starr has a brain! nt

[Walt Starr]

9. Thanks for the vote of confidence, but I doubt the party will listen to me

Seriously, my bet is the Democratic Powers that Be have totally abandoned DU after last night. We were fund raisers and quick shot idea people, but now they'll pull their own stupid shit.

I hope I'm wrong, but I suspect Reid will have ti sown up and we'll continue fucking ourselves.

10. Live in a state with a Dem senator? WRITE A LETTER or FAX your Senator(s)

1) Make it clear you want no more pink tutu leadership!

2) NAME NAMES: You like, say, Hillary Clinton or Russ Feingold? Let your your Senator know.

3) Remind them that come the next election, you'll remember how they reacted to the leadership fight (as part of the big picture in building a Democratic majority or some other appropriate bullet point) -- and ask them for contact info for their reelection campaign.
