A lot of the people you hear from (The people who make the news that is) are generally from one end of the other, there aren't really any centrist.  A lot of people I just think are idiots in the house and wonder how on earth they got into the house or senate.

Personally I would say I like Brad Sherman from California, I actually don't know to terribly much about him but when I was watching CSPAN during the first bail-out he made a real impression on me as a democrat that was against it, and not in a Kucinich sort of way either.

I don't believe in that many politicians but he seems pretty consistent from what I've read about him and seen on the senate floor.  I've not much more to add he seems socially liberal and fiscally conservative to me, so possibly he could count, but as he doesn't seem to have that much pull in the house, as I think people tend to go with one side or the other and just vote for a (D) or an (R) and not really on issues.

Anyway this is just the first time I saw him and was impressed.
