I went with Landrieu...Huey Long proved segregationists were not the best that could come from the state long before the Civil RIghts era, so that knocks out Ellender and Russell.

Yoiu must have meant Russell Long. Huey was very pro-civil rights for a 30s Southern politician.

Exactly, which is why those who succeeded him [Huey] are nothing but disappointments. If Huey hadn't been as pro civil-rights as he was, maybe one could've chalked up segregation as coming with the turf...but nope.

The only 302s/40s politicians with similar stance I can think of were Claude Pepper, Jim Folsom, Sr. and Sid McMath.
