Senators from the opposite party that you are willing to vote for

Well, i am Indie, but still - somewhat left-of-center (especially on social issues), so - "opposite party" in my case must, probably, be Republican. In such case:

1. Susan Collins
2. Lisa Murkowski
3. Mark Kirk
4. Thad Cochran (you will not get anyone better in MS for a long time)
5. John Hoeven (ditto in ND)

And that's probably, all (may be Alexander by the same reasoning). I wish i would have to make choice about 35-37 years ago. In THAT case my choice would be:

1. Jacob Javits
2. Clifford Case
3. Edward Brooke
4. Charles Mathias
5. Mark Hatfield

(and many other). It would be much better))))

In a two-way race, none, because party control matters a lot more to me than individual candidates do. And it's not like there are any races on the horizon where the Republican will be to the left of the Democrat.

For me - just opposite: i care about persons and don't care (at all) about parties. May be i would if both existing parties would "tolerate" moderates like me more, or if there would be a strong moderate party. As it is - "person is everything for me, party - almost nothing"))))
