How powerful is your senator?

Dole-93
Burr-69

I just actually looked at your link. Is this saying that there are 92 Senators MORE powerful than Dole? Am I reading that right?

Alexander- 32
Corker- 97

F'ing RepubliCONS

Sen. Cantwell (D-WA) 48 26.53

I'd say we're doing pretty good.

I live in Maryland now, but will return to my beloved home state of Michigan eventually.

But he's been a great asset to the GOP. Especially with his pro-war support :puke:

Dole and Burr as well. :( How did Burr become more powerful than Dole? Is it because he can at least find NC on a map, while she has no idea where it is? 93 and 69 are indeed way too high a ranking for that pair.

Feinstein & Boxer.

that's what happens when you're a rubber stamp for Bush, john :rofl:

But this one's #1 with me. :loveya:

(me n him yesterday)

I'm envious. :(

Actually, I was sooo star-struck that my camera was in video mode when I handed it to him. So there's a 5 second clip of hedges saying "I pressed the button!" Grabbing stills from that blows. I told him that I am a political junkie and that he is my "Elvis". :D

<-- and there's the lovely "d" :)

but now that I noticed your picture of you with my future husband, I don't think I like you very much;)

:D

Durbin: 3
Obama: 11

...at least Brown's a Dem...

I prefer Boxer.

is the only real Democrat in the Senate from CA.

The latter is equally important to me because that's where I spend most of my time.

Most notably, the chart. lol

I mean that politically, not morally. Or maybe I do.

For some reason there are only 99 and I ain't figuring out whose missin'

... he's got a really wide stance. :eyes:


:rofl:

:puke:

This is interesting - - I've never seen this before. Specter at 25 and Bullet Bob Casey at 91 for me - - no surprise on the latter, as he's never going anywhere in the party due to his anti-choice stance, and was mostly just a handy tool to rid the Senate of Rick Sanitarium.

In reading the description of the methodology, looks like seniority plays a huge role, as you'd expect. I wish they'd released the exact statistical formula. Love Liddy's ranking (totally appropriate - - her only accomplishment is helping the Dems to elect more senators in 2006; thanks, witch!) and Larry Craig's standing just ahead of Doc Johnny Barrasso.

And Vile Kyl is 18?

He's a lot less powerful than he thinks he is. :) Murkowski is 96, so she barely counts. Don Young is 150th in the House, a lot more powerful than he ought to be.

But boy oh boy! That man can tap-dance!

Am I really the first New Yorker to post?

Sen. Lautenberg - 45

Sen. Menendez - 70

Texas repukes in the House listed in the 100's, 200's and 300's!

My repuke red area's Rep Sam Johnson at 173.

My so-called Rep is #137. :shrug:

when he's sworn in as the 44th president of the united states :woohoo:

For the record, he's listed at #11 now, a little behind our other senator, Dick Durbin, who is #3.

There are only 99 senators on that list. Who's missing?

Lott/Wicker don't appear on the list, probably due to the timing of the period covered by the report.

Coburn - 66
Inhofe - 74

Kind of surprising to me that Coburn is more powerful despite being the junior senator, and not making any friends in the Republican party.

Casey is a Freshman and Specter has been there forever.

As far as having a Repuke senator goes. Specter doesn't make me vomit when I hear him speak like Santorum did.

Inouye will be moving up pretty soon when Byrd is no longer Chair of the Appropriations Committee.

2- Kennedy
12- Kerry
197 McGovern

Yes- I love my delegation

At least they keep that pathetic piece of scum Corker at the bottom and powerless. Not that Ford would have been much better, but Corker is so pathetic he doesnt even try to hide that he's a moron and a sock puppet.

...I think Obama is second only to Senator Harry Reid from now through early November.

Hutchinson 24

Cornyn 80

Both Republicans. The weaker the better.

And I've never been happy at all with Difi.

Baucus and Tester.
