Cotton, because everyone else sucks (though, Blanche Lincoln was decent-ish)

AL: Jeremiah Denton
AK: Dan Sullivan
AR: Tom Cotton
AZ: Barry Goldwater

FTR, both Sullivan and Cotton are mainly protest votes, but I also do like them.

My vote's for Bumpers narrowly, since D. Pryor's not quite as slick and Fullbright's a segregationist.

Previous Votes:

AL: Howell Heflin
AK: Ernest Gruening
AZ: Carl Hayden

Alabama: Howell Heflin
Alaska: Mike Gravel
Arizona: Dennis Deconcini
Arkansas: J William Fulbright but definitely not on civil rights issues in the 1960's.

Voted Fulbright, in the hope that his ghost will remember my vote a few years from now when it comes time to apply for his scholarship.
