Poll question: Greatest Current Female Representative
Edited on Sun Nov-16-03 06:30 PM by mndemocrat_29
With Jennifer Granholm currently leading the greatest female governor poll (though I am not alone among DUers who are looking forward to Gov. Kathleen Blanco) and Barbara Boxer elected the favorite senator, I was wondering who everybody's favorite female representative was. I can only post nine in the poll, so here's a list of the rest of the Democratic female representatives (if I missed any, please tell me):

Shelley Berkley
Madeleine Bordallo
Corrine Brown
Lois Capps
Julia Carson
Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick
Donna Christenson
Susan Davis
Rosa DeLauro
Anna Eshoo
Jane Harman
Eleanor Holmes Norton
Darlene Hooley
Eddie Bernice Johnson
Marcy Kaptur
Zoe Lofgren
Nita Lowey
Denise Majette
Carolyn Maloney
Carolyn McCarthy
Karen McCarthy
Betty McCollum
Juanita Millender-McDonald
Grace Napolitano
Lucille Roybal-Allard
Linda Sanchez
Jan Schakowsky
Hilda Solis
Ellen Tauscher
Nydia Velazquez
Diane Watson
Lynn Wooley

4. I really want to vote for Carol Mosley-Braun
...but, Dean is my man. He's from my homestate. Maybe she'll be VP.

I miss her so much. Last year I lived in her district (since she originally ran), now in Bill "I don't even bother with form letter responses" Lipinski.
