One thing I've always wondered about is the lack of prominent national politicians and potential Presidential candidates from the Pacific Northwest-the latest one being Henry Jackson.
Screw Henry Jackson. Frank Church, on the other hand, would have made a fine President.

If Church had been elected, he would've been easily in the top 5 for greatest presidents in history.
Idaho Democrats are really good, probably the best in the country. It's a shame they don't win more elections.
