7. Sen. Hagan, Kay (D-NC)
8. Sen. Johanns, Mike (R-NE)
9. Sen. Kaufman, Ed (D-DE)
10. Sen. Klobuchar, Amy (D-MN)
11. Sen. McCaskill, Claire (D-MO)
12. Sen. Menendez, Robert (D-NJ)
13. Sen. Merkley, Jeff (D-OR)

20. Sen. Warner, Mark (D-VA)
21. Sen. Webb, James (D-VA)
22. Sen. Whitehouse, Sheldon (D-RI)
23. Sen. Wicker, Roger (R-MS)
24. ILLINOIS
25. NEW YORK
26. COLORADO
27. Sen. Franken, Al (D-MN)???

That is a lot of turnover in a very short time. I think it is just one indication of how EPICALLY the political elites FAILED us over the first six years of the Bush administration. Who is still there in Congress that you would like to see back in civilian life…or jail?
