| #3 Mostly, I see the usual suspects: New Orc, California, Oregon. Except: What in the world is wrong with North Dakota? To have your only Representative be the worst out of 435 and one of your Senators be the worst means something is wrong there. Is it too cold there for people to think straight? Do they have problems punching the ballot wearing mittens? |

| #2 Frank, I though the list of worst Republican Senators was interesting as well: Lincoln Chafee (R.-R.I.)52 C- 45.68% Olympia Snowe (R.-Maine) 51 C 52.26% Susan Collins (R.-Maine) 50 C+ 63.62% Arlen Specter (R.-Pa.) 48 C+ 65.47% Ben Campbell (R.-Colo.) 47 B- 68.31% George Voinovich (R.-Ohio) 46 B- 68.54% Mike DeWine (R.-Ohio) 45 B- 68.85% Norm Coleman (R.-Minn.) 44 B- 68.93% Gordon Smith (R.-Ore.) 43 B- 69.18% Ted Stevens (R.-Alaska) 42 B- 70.91% Notice that the worst Republican is ranked 42 so there are 41 Democrats ranked below them. Also among the worst Republicans are the supposedly fiscally responsible Snowe and Voinovich. Why would Maine be electing tax-and-spend folks to the federal level, as their state doesn't seem to be on the pork receiving end for much of the wastefulness? |
