Bizarrely, I find myself agreeing with someone who has a PM score rather far removed from mine (although I'd say it's more bizarre that said person chose those three than I).

Might be a Defense Hawk.  I really think that angle needs to be included in the next PM score, at least in the US.

If he's a defense hawk, he chose poorly, since they are the three most noninterventionist GOP senate candidates this cycle, listed in order of their level of noninterventionism.

Three 5 I like:

Rand Paul (Love Rand Paul - Better than his Dad!)
Russ Feingold
Ron Johnson
Mark Kirk
Marco Rubio

As for comic relief... wow... it's a pretty long list..... not sure I have enough space....

A witch, a WWF promoter, a candidate who dresses as a Nazi... and those are just the higher profile ones....

A better question is why he finds any redeeming value in Mark f-ing Kirk.

Russ Feingold
Jack Conway
Joe Sestak
John Hoeven (as a sane, competent, pragmatic and moderate Republican)
Incumbents like Wyden and Leahy are also really good.

I like Christy in a weird sort of way (because she's insane), same for Alvin Greene.

Ugh, as time goes on I like him less and less for that comment about homosexuality. I'm considering switching my endorsement to the Libertarian candidate. This was probably the final straw, I could excuse some backpeddling, but this plus his hardline on abortion is too much. I always knew he was far right on social issues, but I really hate Bennet.

Oh well, I guess I'll add some candidates I do like:

Joe Manchin: Has grown on me recently.
Joe DioGuardi
Len Britton

Anti-healthcare, anti-cap and trade, fiscally conservative.

Plus, I really really don't like Raese.

I like Randall better than Ronald as well. He seems much more level-headed on foreign policy, though I wish he was a little more socially liberal.

McMahon is the only candidate I've ever seen explain the Democrats' tax-hike solution to (allegedly) keep jobs from going overseas and why it's a really dumb idea in less than 90 seconds.  I never thought it possible.

She is probably the smartest female running, or in the Senate currently, now that Hillary is not in the Senate.
