if you were to replace 5 Democratic Senators

[tabbycat31]

this includes the 2 "independent Democrats" Joe Lieberman and Bernie Sanders (you need to be banned from DU if you wanted the latter replaced) with hardcore progressives, who would you replace.

my answers

Mary Landrieu
Ben Nelson
Max Baucus
Evan Bayh
Joe Lieberman

[Warpy]

1. I don't think Lieberman is a Democrat

so I'd replace him with Feinstein.

[tabbycat31]

2. i included him and Bernie Sanders with the Democrats

[rpannier]

4. Bill Nelson ahead of Feinstein

Bill or Blanche "I always rely on the kindness of traitors" Lincoln.

Afterall she's the one who gave LIEberman the kiss when he returned

[lies and propaganda]

3. LIEbermann, Feinstein..

Landrieu, Nelson and Bayh

or DiFi 5 times over

[Hutzpa]

5. I'll go with

Diane Feinstein
Joe Lieberman
Max Baucus
Alan Specter
Evan Bayh

[ColbertWatcher]

6. Why only 5? Are those the only ones up for re-election? n/t

[AllyCat]

7. Limited to 5? Rats...

Well, I'll say:

Landrieu
The Nelson Twins
Baucus
Lincoln

[pkdu]

8. Max Baucus , Max Baucus,Max Baucus,Max Baucus,Max Baucus n/t

On edit...in my anger..took one too many "Max Baucus" votes

[lordsummerisle]

9. Harry Reid n/t

[emilyg]

16. Yes!

[MadBadger]

10. Arlen Specter, and everybody else that has been said.

[Skittles]

11. I'd hardly count that bastard lieberman as a Democrat

[MrModerate]

12. The problem is, with those folks, we only *think* we have a majority . . .

When in fact it's about 45 Dems, 45 Wacks, and 10 spineless opportunists. No wonder the "minority" gets to pussywhip the "majority."

It's also why when the official numbers were the other way around (51 R 49 D, give or take) it was actually 51 to 10 to 39, and in that configuration the majority pussywhipped the minority. Until we ease the DINOs out in favor of at least left-of-center pols, true progressivism is doomed.

13. Lieberman is not a member of the Democratic party.

[pyoom]

14. Both Nelsons

Feinstein
Bayh

And since Lieberman doesn't count- I guess Specter does. So him.

Those would help.

15. That list works for me. As an independent liberal, I'd have no problem voting left of them.

:shrug:

[Hawkeye-X]

17. Joe is no Democrat

and should not be listed accordingly. Here, I'd suggest replacing Joe Lieberman with Dianne Feinstein. That woman has been a medicore Senator, a terrible mayor, an awful supervisor.

18. Okay, so Ben Nelson has seen the light of day...we think

So I'm changing my group of 5 to include the awful Di Fi.

[bigwillq]

19. Reid, Specter, Lieberman (he's not a DEM anyway)

Bayh, Nelson. Just a quick five for now. I am sure I am missing a few. And those aren't in any particular order.
