Richard Russell, because I think Huey Long cared less about segregation versus the economy.

Wait, you're saying you like Russell because he cared more about segregation? Huh

True, wish I could go back in time and stop that bullet hitting him.

Why?  At least Russell had some good votes; I don't see anything like that from Bilbo.

Bilbo was actually pretty "average" politically for his time. My God, he was born in 1877.

The Senate refused to seat him in his third term because of his extremist views on segregation. Granted, there was a Republican majority, but still.
