And here's the next round:

This one's Alaska, to which there have been only 8 total in all its statehood, and it has been evenly split between Republican and Democratic.

The only two Senators who might be too obscured (Bartlett and Gruening) were New Deal Democrats instrumental in getting Alaska statehood in the first place.

My vote goes to Gruening since he voted against Tonkin and for his role in establishing 911 as the nationwide emergency number.

You should do these slower or we'll get through them in no time Tongue maybe one a day?

I really admire Gruening as well but I admire Bartlett for his legislative acumen as well as the West Wing.

Lisa Murkowski, with Ted Stevens in a close second.  Sullivan hasn't been in office long enough.

I don't remember what Gravel was like as a Senator, but you've gotta love him.
