Poll question: Which former senator were you most excited to see defeated?

All of these Republicans were kicked out of office in the last eight years. Which Democratic victory were you most excited about?

[mndemocrat_29]

1. Rod Grams

If only because he was from my state.

5. Slade... runner up in the worst looking in congress award to...

Strom Thurmon of corse.

[Devil Dog Dem]

2. Faircloth was the orignal chickenhawk

he avoided service in Korea and then attacked the patriortism of Terry Sanford for voting agains the first Gulf War. Sanford parachuted behind enemy lines at Normandy (and other actions) and saw his outfit take heavy casualties. Before he was willing to send other young Americans to die he wanted to give sanctions more time.

Naive, perhaps, but hardly un-patriotic, particularly compared to that PoS chickenhawk Faircloth.

3. All of the above

But my favorite defeat was when Paul Simon IL beat Chuck Percy. It was totally unexpected.

4. Rudy Boschwitz

But that was 1990. Wellstone rightfully kicked his corrupt, shallow ass out of the senate.

Unfortunately, it was more than 8 years ago.

I'd like to say I smiled with glee seeing Asscroft get beat by a dead guy, but I think we all got stung in the ass when he was named AG.
