Reply #30: I the reasons why I chose to this poll were...

[rpannier]

1. There is a myth than Joe Lieberman is the closest thing to a Republican in the Democratic Party. Most people who follow his record should know his stance on the environment, abortion and civil rights are excellent.
2. The same with Hillary, Joe B, and Diane. (It's why I stated for Hillary I was surprised and why I mentioned I worked for Diane). But these four people (Joe L, Joe B, Diane and Hillary are a lightning rod for attacks)
3. I was curious as to how people would vote if they knew how these people's voting records played out.
None of the nine on my list do I consider terrible.
The choice of words on my subject line was terrible. For that I apologise.

edit: I did try to change the subject line but I waited too long. It won't let me change it.

One more edit: If it's true about Baucus taking money from Abramoff, he's the one I'd pick. Because he'd be corrupt and damage the attempt by the Party leadership to make this election about criminal behavior and corruption.
