James Lankford Cheesy (100% pro-life, Evangelical pastor, and fighter for economic freedom...what's not to like?)
Steve Daines (Montana Republicans tend to be massive FF's, and I like folks in the industry I'm aspiring to (software), so him and Gianforte are fantastic)
Tom Cotton
Marco Rubio
Ben Sasse - all of the above 3 are fine, but Lankford/Daines are better
Sherrod Brown
Gary Peters
Dianne Feinstein
Jeff Merkley

LOL @ this.  My pick for "punchable/extremely punchable"....Feinstein.  And if I could do it without getting my butt thrown in jail, I'd knock Richard "Dick" Blumenthal the hell out.  ROFL.  Wink
