Do you miss the Blue Dog/Moderate D Senate/House of Yesteryear?

[Blair]

Strange list.

Nelson is a pretty standard liberal/progressive, Zell Miller not only endorsed Bush but also Mccain, Gingrich & Chambliss, Rockefeller supported Obama in '08 & the public option- whilst Lincoln threatened to filibuster the public option.

Lieberman was a pretty standard mid-1990s liberal who became a grifter and John Breaux gave up a senate seat to make $ with Trent Lott as a lobbyist. The rest won because they had awful opponents, a wave year or a good name.
