2 years ago, I ran a contest on who the greatest Senator of all time was.  I am bringing that contest back.  As last time, you can nominate up to 7 people, and I'll leave the nominations up for a week.  The only requirement is that the Senator must have already left office, but if a currently serving Senator is nominated by 7 different people, I'll waive the requirement.

I'll keep nominations up for 1 week.
