Jon Kyl and Joe Lieberman deserve an honorable mention.

[Хahar 🤔]

Joe Lieberman deserves an honorable mention.

Hmm. I'd like to hear your reasoning.

[Lunar]

For being honorable/principled most likely.

Technically Russ Feingold is very principled too, however (criticizing Obama for his abandonment of public financing)

[Daniel Adams]

Joe Lieberman deserves an honorable mention.

Hmm. I'd like to hear your reasoning.

He stands up for what he believes in even when it conflicts with the party line. I find his determination to fight for what he thinks is right, even when politically inexpedient, admirable. There certainly are a couple of other very principled senators, like Feingold whom Lunar mentions, but none of them have had to withstand the wrath of their party's establishment like Lieberman has.

He's basically told the party, "fuck you" over one issue, on which he doesn't even represent his constituents' wishes.

[Sensei]

Nelson of Florida
Sanders
Dodd
Leahy
Hopefully Franken soon enough

[Daniel Adams]

Uh, the people of Connecticut decided Lieberman represented their wishes well enough when they reelected him 2006, knowing full well his opposition to his party's stance on Iraq.

[Ban my account ffs!]

1.  Paul Wellstone (his work is not finished)

3.  Russ Feingold
4.  Bernie Sanders

Yeah... pretty Minnesota-centric... but I'm not well versed in other states' politics.

[Workers' Friend]

Okay, here I go:

1. Bob Dole
2. Johnny Isakson

[Keystone Phil]

If we're doing Senators from any time, please note my obvious revision for my number one spot.

Connecticut reelected Lieberman in spite of his opposition to the war, not because of it. Lamont made the mistake of running basically a single-issue campaign.
