[Snowstalker Mk. II]

Massachusetts is 2012-Scott Brown.

Massachusetts is 2012-Scott Brown.

my criteria is that they had to have been elected in a regularly scheduled election.

[Zioneer]

Actually, Utah is Bob Bennett 2010. He was beaten at convention, didn't even get to the primary.

It was a regular election...Kennedy was last elected in 2006.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

There were several South Carolina senators who lost reelection back in the days when the election was not the general election but the Democratic primary, of which the latest was Senator Coleman "Cole" Livingston Blease lost in 1930 to James Byrnes in what was a rematch of the 1924 primary contest between the two.

I do have you to thank for my new sig.

Correction to the above.

Ellison D. Smith lost the primary in 1944 to Olin D. Johnston.  I missed it initially because after Smith lost the primary (and Johnston had been elected in the general) but before his term had ended, Smith died and Wilton E. Hall was appointed to serve the remaining month and a half of Smith's term.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

But Brown did not originally win in a general election.

That much being said, I do think freepcrusher's criteria are a bit too strict to be very meaningful.

[retromike22]

The list should be of any defeat, whether by special election or primary.

[Zioneer]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking; even same-party Senators can be completely different from each other, so it shouldn't matter how the incumbent senator was defeated, just that he/she was.

I already covered South Carolina Democratic regular election primary losses above and the last one was Olin D. Johnston defeating Ellison D. Smith in 1944.

If we include special elections, then in 1966, Ernest Hollings defeated Donald S. Russell who had been appointed to fill the seat vacated by the death of Olin D. Johnston.  Russell had been governor, and when Johnston died, he resigned and was appointed senator by the former lt. governor.

Cool list.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_Senators_from_Vermont

The last Senator from Vermont to lose re-election was Frank Partridge in 1931, but he was an appointed Senator who only served three months, and he didn't win his party's nomination.

The last non-appointed Vermont Senator to lose was Nathaniel Chipman in 1802...but we all know elections were different back then.

[Franzl]

What about Jim Talent 2006?

[freepcrusher]

What about Jim Talent 2006?

wasn't elected in 2000 if I recall.

[Bismarck]

No incumbant republican has lost since 2008, I suppose I already knew that and a lot has to do with the cycles but it is interesting.

[MT Treasurer]

I know he was just an appointed Senator, but Bob Krueger got Kruegered in TX in 1993, losing 67-33 to Kay Bailey Hutchison.

Can anyone inform us why Krueger got obliterated like that?

By that logic, John Seymour was the last one in California in '92 when DiFi defeated him in a landlside...ironically DiFi had to actually fight for '94.

[Zioneer]

I still think the criteria of "has to be defeated in a general election" is silly. Here in Utah, the Republican primary is practically the general election itself!
