All-Time Senate

[Akno21]

What would an all-time Senate look like? Two Senators from each state, from any time in US History.

[Dr. Cynic]

Wow! I might need a few hours for that one.

[Akno21]

I've got to disagree with you in some places. Sarbanes should replace Gorman and Goldwater should replace Hayden.

Was George Mitchell from Maine? If so, he should be considered.

[Dr. Cynic]

I've been looking at everything historically and objectively. I will finish up my All Time Senate in the next post. Besides, I never cared much for Goldwater one way or the other.

[Dr. Cynic]

Well, you've seen all 100 Senators that I've picked. How about the rest of you?

[Schmitz in 1972]

No Langer? No McCarthy? No Calhoun?
I think there are a few omissions from the list but then again it's better than anything I could've done.

[Akno21]

That's a pretty good list, a few disagreements here and there, such as RFK, he only served 4 years. And John Edwards I'm not so sure about.

[Dr. Cynic]

Which McCarthy? If you mean Joe McCarthy, then I would have to say HELL NO! But, if you meant Gene McCarthy, he was considered, but I decided on Wellstone. In regards to RFK. Why not? Who said I had to pick the people who served for a long time? I picked the body I felt would be the most dynamic, forward-thinking, and all in all great people. There were many under my consideration in many states. Calhoun was under heavy consideration, but since Hollings served longer, I did go with him.

But, you have to admit. It was a pretty good list done all in one setting. *Flashes devil may care smile*.

[zachman]

Here's my picks for NH:
Franklin Pierce (D)
Warren Rudman (R)

[Dr. Cynic]

I feel that Church and Borah were the best Idaho had. They accomplished the most, and were there the longest. Let's see who you would have, Mr. Fresh.

[12th Doctor]

Your list has way too many Dems and this...

NORTH CAROLINA:

John EDWARDS (D)

No way!

[12th Doctor]

PENNSYLVANIA:
Henry HEINZ (R)

And... don't you mean John Heinz?

[7,052,770]

Mississippi would probably be:
John C. Stennis (D)
Trent Lott (R)

[Dr. Cynic]

Heinz's name was Henry John Heinz.
