Snowe/Mitchell. This is a stunning group of Senators, though.

King/Mitchell, but it's a surprisingly great group.

Really, I'm quite proud of our senate heritage. You have to go back to Owen Brewster to get a real stinker (a Klansman and McCarthy ally).

Going back through this, it's amazing that Bill Cohen got no votes for best. IMO either the second or third best Senator in the past 25 years.

As a Mainer I've certainly been lucky with my Senators. For such a small state our senators seems to have an outsized impact on national politics, going back to the 50s with Margaret Chase Smith and Ed Muskie.

I agree that Cohen is second best.

Hathaway, Payne, and Mitchell are the worst post-1959. Smith is the best.
