Folks, ALL of the Dems were good today

[Guaranteed]

except for possibly Biden, who had to go and ruin the party by announcing that he was going to vote to confirm Condi.

But, I think that they all did a great job of working together, and I actually think that Kerry did an especially good job. Usually I love a good Kerry bash, but if I was a Kerry basher today, I'd be wrong.

We should all be proud tonight here on DU, even the DLC supporters.

1. All? Is this the Special Olympics or what?

[Guaranteed]

3. Everyone but Biden.

He SUCKED on the pole-vault. :)

[katinmn]

10. He's a loose canon and not to be trusted.

[AP]

11. At least he's consistent. He's loved the Iraq invasion from the beginning.

I know Del. is dominated by corps, but his is one of the few seats where I'm sure we could do better. There has got to be a better Dem out there who could win that seat.

12. Got anybody in mind?

14. Ruth Ann Minner! (here's her bio)

I want her to be VP too.

Born in Slaughter Neck in Sussex County, Ruth Ann left school at age 16 to help on her family’s farm, later marrying Frank Ingram. Widowed suddenly at 32 with three sons to raise, she worked two jobs while going to school, earning her G.E.D. She built a family towing business with her second husband, Roger Minner. Roger died of lung cancer in 1991. Ruth Ann began in politics stuffing envelopes, then worked as an aide in the state legislature and as receptionist to then-Gov. Sherman Tribbitt. She was elected to four terms in the state House of Representatives beginning in 1974, to three terms in the state Senate beginning in 1982 and to two terms as Lieutenant Governor in 1992 and 1996.


Gov. Minner lives on a farm in Milford and most enjoys spending time with her three sons and their wives, her seven grandchildren, and her great-granddaughter and two step- great-grandsons.

4. I hope it is a sign of how they will act in this upcoming Bush term!!

[babylonsister]

2. I totally agree, BGL!

Nice to see some intelligence from our side-they found their voice!

[ashling]

5. Would have been better

if Biden had missed his train :eyes:

[iwantmycountryback]

6. Yes, unfortunately the ranking member had to suck

But all of the others were great, especially Boxer and Dodd.

[Guaranteed]

8. Let's not concentrate on that, though.

:)

[rooboy]

7. Isn't Diane Feinstein a Democrat? n/t

[BlueEyedSon]

9. Agreed. She was a disappointment too...

But Sarbanes, Obama (second act) Kerry & Boxer were great.

[Guaranteed]

13. And Dodd.

:)

[BlueEyedSon]

16. You again...? Yeah, and Dodd!

But none of this is real, it's all a dream within a dream....

[Guaranteed]

17. I saw him. He was there.

Totally not the argument, BTW. I told ya it's not Cartesian.

It's Hume. Very different.

[Andromeda]

15. I remember how Biden treated Anita Hill

at the Clarence Thomas confirmation the and I have disliked him ever since. The deck was stacked against Anita from the very start and Biden just piled on.

[AP]

20. Biden canceled the testimony from the corroborating witnesses

and called a vote.

Without the corroborating witnesses, it was a "he said/she said" thing.

With the corroborating witnesses it would have been impossible for anyone in good conscience to put a man on the Supreme Court who created such a hostile workplace for a woman he supervised.

I've said this many times at DU: I hope that whatever Biden traded for that action was really worth it for him, because what America got was Clarence Thomas's lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court and I do believe that there are many potential Bush appointees who would not have voted with Scalia, Rhenquist, O'Connor and the other RW loon in Bush v Gore.

[medeak]

18. Biden was good on Crossfire however

saying he was alarmed thinking about "this second go around" (next 4 years)

[Guaranteed]

19. Man, we had a great day, and then one freeper poster came along

and set off the DLCers, and then that set off the reformists.

Too bad.

[blm]

21. We should start a forum for people who seek good governance above all else

Funny, it should be standard for a place like DU.
