I'm sort of ashamed of myself. I got 99, missing only Montana's new junior Senator.

80, but I could've gotten more if I hadn't run out of time.

79/100. For the record I do in fact have Asperger's syndrome.

Got 99. Couldn't think of Patty Murray.

I got 33/100. I do not feel ashamed by this as I do not attach emotional significance to learning the name of the Senator for Idaho or whatever.

I'm sure I would've gotten 100 six or seven years ago. I got 78 just now, forgetting the names of a lot of new ones.

I was trying to name people who aren't even in the Senate any more.

I remembered the names of 83, though more if I could spell Barasso, Klobouchar and Stabanow.  My memory can be pretty random sometimes so I forgot  what Manchin's name was, among others.

37.

Years ago I might have got 50-60 but I've long stopped paying attention. I had forgotten the departure of Larry Craig and Massachusetts left me blank because I knew it was no longer Kerry-Kennedy (Yes, I blanked Warren *shrug*. Had I thought harder I might have gotten 6-7 more, she among them).

95/100

Hatch, Cantwell, Heller, Fischer, and Johanns are the ones I couldn't think of. I didn't know why I couldn't think of even one of the Nebraska senators Tongue

100/100.  Probably helps that I just got interested intensely in politics in 2012, so I didn't have old knowledge crowding out new knowledge.

Did it again after getting the rest of the answers the first time, and got 99.  Martin Heinrich just refuses to stick in my memory.

I got 99 of them, and I did remember that Mike Johanns was a former Governor and Agriculture Secretary, so I technically got 100 Tongue. I cheated when I got 99 of them with four minutes left on the clock, so I looked up former Agriculture Secretaries and put a name to the face.

Same. Tongue

96/100. I forgot Idaho's Mike Crapo, both of NE's, and drew a complete blank when it came to thinking of the Republican Senator from North Dakota. Just short of an A+, but I at least didn't forget any Democratic Senators!
