Tsongas/Brown

Kennedy was very overrated; definitely not the best of the Kennedy brothers.

Familiarity breeds contempt with these people, at least for me. Brown for worst, didn't vote for best.

Kerry/Brown

Hard call between Brown or Tsongas...but Brown's got the nastier personality.

Warren/Brown; Warren's my favorite senator, and Brown tried to carpetbag his way back into power.

Yes, but his last name was Kennedy, so he must be a great guy!

And Robert was a McCarthyite. and John slept around.

Kennedy was a great Senator and a bad person.

And?  He still committed manslaughter.  He belonged in a jail cell, not Congress.

I don't really like the Kennedys, to be honest.
