Name 50 reliably progressive Democratic Senators on most issues.
Because to be honest with you, I can't. :shrug:

My list of reliably progressive Democratic Senators:

Jeff Merkley of Oregon
Russ Feingold of Wisconsin
Dick Durbin of Illinois
Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island
Bernie Sanders of Vermont
Barbara Boxer of California
John Kerry of Massachussets
Patty Murray of Washington State
Jack Reed of Rhode Island
Al Franken of Minnesota
Robert Menendez of New Jersey
Daniel Akaka of Hawaii
Roland Burris of Illinois
Tom Harkin of Iowa
Barbara Mikulski of Maryland
Ben Cardin of Maryland
Debbie Stabenow of Michigan
Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota
Jeff Bingaman of New Mexico
Sherrod Brown of Ohio
Ron Wyden of Oregon
Patrick Leahy of Vermont
Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia
Herb Kohl of Wisconsin

2. I'd argue that Rockefeller doesn't belong on that list because he can't be counted on when it comes
to energy issues.

6. You missed Carl Levin.
Certainly more reliable than Stabenow.
