If a GOP rift develops, that might open the door for a progressive to win.

------...mud_rake,<br />They are indeed ignorant racists!<br />---------------<br />Suzan,<br />I love the idea of spotlighting the relatively thin list of representatives and even Senators who really do look out for the best interests of their constituents and who aren't all bought out. I don't know if you ever saw it, but a little under a year ago, I did a six part installment which listed every single congressperson, state by state and district by district, and what occupation he or she had prior to being elected representative or senator. I posted my summarized findings in my May 30, 2009 "Time For REAL Representation (Part VI). 37.24% were or had been attorneys; 5.21% had been bankers/insurance/investment brokers; 3.72% had been farmers or ranchers; 3.72% had been college professors; 3.54& had been small business owners; 3.2% had been physicians or surgeons, and so on. There were no cooks, custodians, mechanics---virtually all had come from positions of upper income, and only a tiny, tiny handful had eked out a living at $30-$40 K a year or below, which is where the overwhelming majority of our population sits at. These people don't even know what "average" citizens NEED! So when we find the rare Dennis Kucinich, Barbara Boxer, or Anthony Wiener, it is a find to revel in, and these people should be spotlighted and celebrated!Jack Jodellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02165430903903838990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6234638383123311700.post-10553378075272256842010-03-06T15:33:48.027-06:002010-03-06T15:33:48.027-06:00Thanks for running my favorite political quote.
