Hopefully Cotton. We need less fossils in the government if you ask me.
So I presume you're supporting Gregory the Gallant in Kansas?
I have mixed feelings about Greg Orman. He sounds like a Democrat in Independent's clothing, but he seems at least more moderate than other Democrats. I'd feel safer if he promised not to caucus with either party in the Senate, assuming that's allowed.
It's allowed, but that would mean getting either no committee assignments or just really bad ones which would tend to make one a terribly ineffective senator.
So it's allowed but discouraged? Washington was right about the perils of political parties, it seems.
That Oregon Senator tried it for a spell after he left the GOP in the 1950's but eventually he just joined the Democrats. He literally put a folding chair in between the two sides of the chamber.
