I don't know enough about most of the races to vote, save for Hawaii, where I would vote for Tom Gill.

The only Southern Democrat that I would have been comfortable voting for during the 1950s and 1960s would have probably been LBJ, Ralph Yarborough, Estes Kefauver, Al Gore Sr. and possibly Lister Hill in his 1962 race against James Martin.
