Ben Cardin is a great Senator. Loved his remarks at AIPAC this year, and I have friends who go to Shul with him and his family, they say he's a great human being.

Close one between Sarbanes, Tydings, and Mikulski...but between Sabranes being too low key, and Tydings not being around long enough, I have to go with Babs.

The only senators that exist are the senators that were around when I started paying attention to politics (around 2006). Any senator from before that time is obscure and automatically terrible.

That means my choice is between Cardin and Milulski. I voted Milulski.

Mathias by a mile, but Beall Jr. was good, too.
