threads like this make me think I'm on the wrong message board.  I can name more people from The Office than I can sitting US senators.

Just took a quick lookie at the map and got all except OK. Tongue It's mostly just because I had this weird dream of being a senator when I was little, and I guess there's some things no amount of jadedness can shake.

To some it is like being an extreme sports fan.

If you are going to the length of endorsing senate candidates from 10 different states in your signature then its probably a given you will be up on their names and faces.

By a rough off the top of my head

Both (11): MI (not yet, Kid Rock), TN, KY, NJ, VT, SC, AZ, HI, IL, ME, CA
One (18): NM, CT, OR, MN, MO, MA, PA, WV, FL, TX, UT, WI, IN, AL, GA, AK, NE, LA

So 29 of 50 states.

I could name 71 according to this test (and I forgot people like Graham, Grassley and Sasse lol).

I got 34 on the quiz - but somehow it rejected my entries for Feinstein and McCaskill. Only 6 states where I got both, and 27 states overall - by name I recognize another 20+ or so:

Harris, Baldwin, Barrasso, Warner, Leahy, Hatch, Cornyn, Inhofe, Gillibrand, Heller, Hassan, Menendez, Reed, Whitehouse, Toomey, Udall, Klobuchar, Markey, Durbin, Perdue, Cotton, and Strange (soon to change)

The remaining 1/3 are pretty generic for me.

I had 92 when I ran out of time, and would have scored 96 if I hadn't spent almost a minute trying to figure out how to spell Isakson. I know all 100, but would have had to think about it beyond 10 minutes to remember Carper, Daines, Udall and Hoeven.

is the title self selecting people or are some of you lying?  Are some coming in here who don't know a mess of 'em and they just leave out of embarrassment?


Also, you're all super nerds.
