OUR DEMOCRAT SENATORS

A couple of days ago, Atrios made a good point about them. We have two kinds of senators, those mostly concerned with issues in their states and those who have a national presence. Unfortunately, neither are helping to develop the national party. Here's how Atrios put it:

The problem is that neither type of Senator is concerned enough with the national Democratic message. Biden's looking out for Biden, Lieberman's looking out for Lieberman, the state-focused Dems are looking out for their seats. We don't have enough of the third type - the safe seat Democrat who is concerned with helping bring the party along with him/her.
