I can't think of a single senator who can do what Kennedy did for 47 years.

I can't think of a team of two or three or four who could do it.

To be sure there's a new leader out there. But we have yet to meet her. Or him.

9. It sure does seem that way. We've seen some big setbacks!
:cry:

Not to mention those who would have been good congresscritters, but were stopped by the PARTY, when they were wanted by We, The People!

10. I didn't even think about Barney Frank.
Do you think he'll run, or is he happy in the House?
