She'll make a great Intelligence Chair.

but she will be great and keeping Feinstein from being chair of Judiciary sounds good to me.

She is one of the handful to have the courage and vision to vote against both the repeal of Glass Steagall and against the Iraq War Resolution.

I've always wondered how different the 2000 election might have turned out if Gore had taken Bill Clinton's advice and chosen the socially gifted and politically gifted Barbara Mikulski instead of the dull and unlikeable Lieberman as VP. She would have made mincemeat out of Cheney in VP debate, and the Country would have respected her intelligence and wanted to hug her at the same time.

She knows so much about the government, she is really going to be informed about where money needs to be appropriated and where not, it is just awesome that she is being given this position.

Go Barbara! Congratulations!

I don't remember this one in the Karma Sutra?
sorry, couldn't resist.

I remember before the '92 election ("The Year of the Woman&quot , there were only two female senators: Mikulski (D-MD) and Kassebaum (R-KS). There wasn't even a separate bathroom for women outside the Senate chamber (just one restroom with a sign which said "Senators Only" on it).

How many female senators will there be when the new Congress convenes in January 2013?
