And since I skipped yesterday, here's Montana as a bonus.

Mansfield won last year by half.

My votes are for Mansfield as best (although anyone besides Burns, Daines, or Baucus are pretty respectable), Burns for worst.

Best: Jon Tester
Worst: Conrad Burns, the racist slaver

Baucus is pretty good with BaucusCare, but that somewhat stopped the Wyden-Bennett Healthy Americans Act.

Mansfield is the best for his civil rights efforts, and I don't know enough about the rest to vote.

John Walsh looks like a mole, was forced out of an election in disgrace, and did literally nothing noteworthy.

Not sure about best. Maybe Baucus.

Rather disappointed that Baucus has such a weak showing. Maybe I'm biased because I know him a bit, but I think he's one of the most skilled lawmakers of the past 20 years.

Daines is the best, Baucus or Walsh are the worst.
