Another battle b/w a present Congressman and a former Congressman for an open Senate seat (if the Colorado GOP lets him win this time)
Any guesses on the last time sitting Congressman beat a former Congressman for an open Senate seat. Last time this happened was Oklahoma 2004, where Coburn (former Congressman) beat Carson (present Congressman).
Bump. I like my question and I'm curious as to the answer (a question Al might know the answer to), because I think it's been quite a long while.
Thune v Daschle, technically, though I think you mean a former Congressman who's been lazing around since being a Congressman, not a Senator who happens to be a former Congressman. Probably not for a while since former Congressmen don't run in elections very often.
