9. I love him.

His bio always makes me tear up and then cheer on!

Of course, I adore Wes Clark, but Kucinich, for some reason, makes my tanks burn.

Gotta love Denny! :loveya:

6. 24 FOUR!!!

That is WAY more than in 2000......BUT....I wonder why MY OREGON DEMOCRATIC REPRESENTATIVES didn't sign it?


Darn scaredy cats. If I was in Congress, I would not be afraid to sign that letter.

13. Now this is starting to look promising!

How many times over the last two months have you signed onto DU expecting news or progress on election challenges, only to be disappointed day after day with crumbs and tidbits? Or no news at all? Sometimes I've thought that the lack of momentum and the lack of progress really indicated that there wasn't enough there.

But now we're seeing what DU should look like when something is happening! Refresh, refresh, refresh.....

GET WINGS BABY!!

[DELUSIONAL]

14. Jim McDermott -- Washington State

plus he was on the F-9/11 video.

He is already a hero.

[genius]

15. On this list, we can find our next President.

[genius]

16. Also it's time for Pelosi to resign and for on of these to be min ldr.

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

17. What, no Bobby Scott (Rep. from VA (D))?

[YNGW]

18. Hard to believe

Just when you would think the some of our Democrats in the House had run out of feet to shoot they find another one. Here's hoping the Senate has cooler heads.

[Sydnie]

21. I am not sure what you are saying here?

Just who is shooting whom in the foot?

[dreamcollector]

19. They will go down in history

[Sydnie]

20. Thanks for the news and Thanks for signing Barney!!!

I KNEW I could count on you to stand up and do the right thing!!! Now I feel like all those letters I wrote him meant something after all!

Yeah for us (for a change!)

22. Jesse Jackson Jr. Very Pissed and Very Smart

I like his style

[Vidar]

23. Notice that 24 is twice what the stinking media said we had ("a dozen").
