if you were to replace 5 Democratic Senators
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

1. I don't think Lieberman is a Democrat so I'd replace him with Feinstein.

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 *****whip 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 *****whipped the minority. Until we ease the DINOs out in favor of at least left-of-center pols, true progressivism is doomed.

14. Both Nelsons
Feinstein
Bayh
And since Lieberman doesn't count- I guess Specter does. So him.

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

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.
I dunno.
franksolich's wish list is Vast Teddy and the Bostonian Billionaire from Massachusetts, Jr. from Vermont, Babs Boxer from California, and Patty Murray from Washington.
