Sunday Game: Find The Progressive #1
Here's a new Sunday game: Find The Progressive.
The goal of the game is to find one guest on any of the major Sunday talk shows who
- opposed the war in 2002 (Senate/House) and
- supports a deadline to remove all U.S. troops within a year - which is the position of 73% of Americans (Senate/House)
Since most Sunday guests are Senators, here is the complete list of Progressive Senators for easy reference:
Barbara Boxer (D-CA)
Daniel Inouye (D-HI)
Daniel Akaka (D-HI)
Richard Durbin (D-IL)
Edward Kennedy (D-MA)
Barbara Mikulski (D-MD)
Debbie Stabenow (D-MI)
Ron Wyden (D-OR)
Patrick Leahy (D-VT)
Patty Murray (D-WA)
Russell Feingold (D-WI)
Robert Byrd (D-WV)
And here are the Sunday guests for 9/16/07:
| Non-Progressive | Progressive | |
| Meet the Press | Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) & Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) | |
| Face the Nation | Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI) & Sen. Jon Kyl (R-AZ) WaPo's Tom Ricks |
|
| This Week | Def. Sec Robert Gates & Sen. Jack Reed (D-RI) NYT's Thomas Friedman, Newsweek's Fareed Zakaria, ABC's Martha Raddatz and George Will |
|
| Late Edition | Gen. Wesley Clark; Sen. Chris Dodd (D-CT); Sen. Evan Bayh (D-IN); Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX); Rep. Tom Lantos (D-CA) | |
| FOX News Sunday | Def. Sec. Robert Gates; Gen. David Petraeus; Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE) |
Score for 9/16/07
Non-Progressives: 19
Progressives: 0
Note: Gen. Wesley Clark says he opposed the invasion of Iraq in 2003, but he testified in support of the Iraq Resolution on 9/26/02, which is the vote I'm using for the Senators.
