Welcome to another round of the Senators, only this time such a topic is more relevant  what with the elections underway.

Last year, the vote was for who since the Voting Rights Act was passed did the best job of representing the state. This time, I have added alongside that, a second option for who did the worst as well.

The state for this round is Alabama.

Last Year's Record: Howell Heflin (1979-1997) [27.9%]

Wonder how this will turn out.

Heflin/Sparkman

Sessions isn't a segregationist.

Best: Hill (his work on hospital funding and healthcare is superb, and he broke with his southern colleagues a lot of times to do the right thing). Heflin is second for mistaking his wife's panties for a handkerchief alone!

Worst: Allen (Jesse Helms with the wrong party label), at least Sessions is largely useless. Allen was actively and smartly destructive.

Sessions-I agree with him on economic issues but not cultural issues.
