Hmm...Berkeley?  and Feingold is just plain awesome.
One thing I loved about them is that you could be walking around the UW campus and randomly run into Baldwin or Feingold, even when it wasn't election time.
That's really excellent. I can't imagine running into any of my reps down here, they are way to busy stomping on the less affluent parts of the state to actually come and talk to the less affluent parts of the state.

Madison's mayor trumped our city councilman BIG TIME!
Although the southern third of Austin still has Lloyd Doggett representing us, so that's something.

LOL, but of course! Ohh and I love the French, English and Spanish thing you got going here!
I was actually trying to be subversive. It was a secret political statement for having bi (tri) lingual education and Spanish as our national language. Because you know, we liberals hate english and hate america, and want to see it overrun by immigrants pronto.
