Gary Palmer®. Too early to tell. He's got your usual Alabama right wing bona fides, but I voted for him, because unlike his rival for the Republican nomination, he apparently possessed a functioning brain.

Marsha Blackburn - Congresswoman. Love her. Wished she'd run for President.

Alexander/Corker - Senators. Let's just say I really miss Fred Thompson. These two are ok, and we could certainly have worse.

yep, Steve Cohen (TN 9th/Democrat) he's freaking great....

Mine is Mo Brooks, a total ******* idiot and general piece of human garbage.

He is the kind of individual that when you meet him possess no positive quality whatsoever.

If you don't remember, he is the far-right, anti-abortion one who forced his mistress (who was a patient when he was a doctor) to have an abortion... But hey he said it was a mistake and that he prayed about it, so that makes it a-ok! The voters keep putting him back in DC. I don't think there is any other politician in America who I dislike more. What about yours?

If you're asking, "would I have a beer, or two, with him?", then yes I would. However, Rep. John Larson (D-1st) is known to vote in absolute lockstep with the Dem leadership. If they told him to jump off the Brooklyn Bridge, he would do so w/o asking why.

Gets to Congress and immediately (on his first day there) files a motion to impeach John Boehner, assuring maximum screwage for his district.

Was just gerrymandered into that district. Previous Rep was Democrat Terri Sewell, pretty much a nonentity. She did OK cutting ribbons with giant scissors and congratulating high school bands.

I'm pretty ambivalent about Palmer, but I thought he shredded DeMarco in their debate.

Steve Cohen is Nancy Pelosi's lap dog. Thats where you will find him, laying in her lap getting petted.

And then there was the time he met the Clintons and nearly peed his pants.

Hell no. Evan Jenkins Republican... At least I think he still is. He's switched back and forth 3 or 4 times. He's a little dweeb that rode the wave of pissy straight ticket voters and somehow beat Nick Rahall. Now every other month I get a mailing (that I have to deliver) that is paid for by our tax dollars telling me some obscure thing the cheesedick did for West Virginia. He's always been pointless and his best quality was showing up for photo ops which he was a master at.

I get it that people wanted change but he changes as the wind blows and only has loyalty to himself. I look forward to my mail load yet again bein increased due to his taxpayer paid for mailing being sent out

I don't know him, but based on what I do know of him I'd say he is a royal *******. I don't care how much he disagreed with the president, what he did was totally out of bounds, totally classless. But good constituent services does make up for a lot.

But all those Democrats demanding W and Cheney be brought up on war crimes and all the disgusting things they said about our President and VP is completely above board to you?

Well if you disapprove then I like him that much more.

Dave Brat, he's just getting started. Economics professor, fiscal conservative and not overly hung up on the "social" issues.

That and he replaced the entitled Eric Cantor after he apparently completely forgot where he lived and who put him in office.

I wrote to Cantor three times during his tenure. Every response that I received was about six months later, and essentially told me to go back to the kiddie table while the adults sorted their fetid mess out.

I voted for Brat.

So long Eric; you aren't missed, not even a little.

Eric Cantor is an arrogant prick more concerned about his political aspirations than doing good for his district. Brat's victory was great, and I hope he follows through on the promise he has shown early.

To EverRespect, man I feel your pain. Bobby Scott, just uugghhh!

I have Randy Forbes in the 4th district. Love him. Represents his district well and he votes about 95% with how I would on the issues. His district is changing due to lawsuits and redistricting, so he is moving to the 2nd district (replacing retiring Scott Riegel).

Our senators and governor/attorney general suck balls, but unfortunately Virginia is now like Maryland, where a few blue urban spots overwhelm a map that is predominantly red.

Meh. Alan Grayson. He's now running for Marco Nubio's seat.

Barbara Comstock....I thought she'd be okay, but seems to have really hitched herself to this nonsensical "Human trafficking" nonsense that we hear every year around the Super Bowl. I think she's a RINO, but that isn't always a bad thing.

Doesn't matter when and where it was said, the question still stands.

Scott Rigell in VA-2. He's pretty awesome, but is sadly retiring. Votes almost like I would on the major issues (with a few exceptions). Oh, and let me tell you: His office does excellent constituent service.

yep. that would be almost as bad as talking sh*t about the supreme court justices during the state of the union. the main difference was that Joe Wilson was telling the truth.

Did not see their debate; but have known DeMarco a long time. Don't like his politics, but he's pretty smart, and he was strong for #FreeUAB as a state rep, working hand-in-hand with black Demo legislators to fight the evil Bryant cabal. I'll always choose green over red or blue.

Demanding your boss' firing on Day One is beyond naive, it's the act of a lunatic.
