Would any of these guys be missed?
Unfortunately, while #3 on the list, Patty Murray, wouldn’t be missed, she was just re-elected here in WashYourHandsIngton. Another 6 years of madness.
Well, only 2 years (I think) till we can maybe throw her partner Cantwell out. If the Repubs can find someone.

I’m genuinely shocked that not one is from florida…
Lincoln and Specter are already history, defeated in the general and primary elections, respectively.
Murray, Reid, Schumer and Boxer are safely ensconced for another six years, they won in November.
Inouye will die in office, he will never be turned out. Even then, the best taxidermist in Hawaii will be put to work to ensure he never leaves his post.
The others may feel some heat in the next two cycles, but look at the folks who put them there in the first place…
Don’t judge too quickly; that’s just quantity. Quality might be a whole different ballgame.
Too bad all of those earmarks were thrown out. My two Michigan Senators are running neck and neck with 93 and 91 one of them, and we need all of the unfair political favors we can wrench out of Washington.
Neither Stabenaw or Levin will be reelected. Michigan now realizes they’re puppets for organized labor and the Democrat party. They have done nothing to stop our state’s bleeding except watch while our once thriving state swirls in the toilet. Unfortunately, they have their Federal golden healthcare policies for life. I’d like to see them sitting in hospital waiting rooms with the rest of us when Obamacare kicks in. These Fat Cats voted for it, and their morbidly obese bodies deserve it.
