We’ll always have “seasoned” senators because of the revolving 6 year terms.
The House is another matter, but too many districts are gerrymandered that ensures the reelection of several incumbents.
The Senate is the chamber that lacks Constitution loyalty on our side. We have good guys (and women) in the House, but our Senate side is pathetic.
Snowe and Collins are more democrat than Republican, and they only serve to give the Republicans a number count for the GOP. I think we can say the same for Scott Brown, but the majority is important when it comes to setting the agenda. They’re not reliable votes, but several others aren’t either and they’re ALL INCUMBENTS!
A huge, huge shakeup is needed. Incremental won’t work at this stage.
