What are the states with 2 Democratic Senators? A friend just posed the question to me....

[marmar]

[opiate69]

1. Washington State

2. Cantwell and who's the other?

On edit: I believe we're the first state inhistory to have 2 female Senators and a female Governor.

4. Massachussetts

Kerry & Kennedy

[leomcgarrysghost]

5. Montana, Louisiana, Rhode Island too, I think.

Tester and Baucus

Rhode Island - Whitehouse and Reed

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

8. Washington - One Democrat and one DLC'er.

[TomClash]

10. Others

Rhode Island, Hawaii, Delaware, Maryland, Montana, North Dakota, Wisconsin. I didn't count Connecticut because no one really knows what party Lieberman is in. Vermont could be counted as two Dems because Jeffords votes with the Dems most of hte time.

[leomcgarrysghost]

12. Jeffords is gone

Sanders replaced him, but he caucuses with the Dems.

[marmar]

15. Didn't Bernie Sanders replace Jeffords?

n/t

[TomClash]

34. Yes, I forgot n/t

[Blue Belle]

18. I don't think Lieberman knows what party he's in...

he's only a fair weather Democrat - if that.

[hfojvt]

14. Check it out - South Dakota and Wisconsin

South Dakota used to be one, until Daschle was narrowly defeated in 2004.

[leomcgarrysghost]

16. Wisconsin is in

Kohl and Feingold

[marmar]

17. In Wisconsin, it's Feingold and whom?

n/t

[leomcgarrysghost]

20. Herb Kohl

[hfojvt]

No respect. :hide:

[Blue Belle]

24. California... New York...

California: Senators Boxer and Feinstein
New York: Senators Clinton and Schumer

[trashcanistanista]

25. California

This is a trick question, we have Boxer and there is a (D) after Fienstien's name. :patriot:

[marmar]

28. LOL. I watched a documentary on Sundance the other day called "The Times of Harvey Milk"

She was considered a "conservative" (Granted, this is by San Francisco standards) on the Board of Supervisors back then.

[AnnieBW]

32. Maryland!

33. I'm going to try to see if I can name them all

without looking. MA, VT, RI, CT, MD, CA, WA, HI, MT, Arkansas, DE, IL, NY, MI, ND, WV, NJ, WI and I think that is it. That gives us 36. We also have one each in PA, OH, VA, FL, LA, SD, NE, CO, NV, OR, IN, MN, IA, NM, MO. That should be our Senators. Of course this lists counts Sanders and Lieberman as Democrats since they are caucusing our way.

36. New Jersey! Lautenberg and Menendez!!

They rock!
