Great Senators of American History.

[The Great Aztec Joe]

I decided to put together my list of the Greatest Senators in American history. The issue was, "Did they represent what they believed in?" The first four that I list I consider to be the Super Champions of the Senate. The rest are great for having performed above and beyond the call of duty as senators. I leave out their private lives, and only go on their convictions. Here is my preliminary list. Tell me who you would add.


Henry Clay of Kentucky: He was "the Great Compromiser" who had a great ability to balance regional and national interests.

John C. Calhoun of South Carolina, leading proponent of "states' rights."

Daniel Webster of Massachusetts, He championed the concept of a strong national government, and was a great orator.

Stephen A. Douglas of Illinois, Architect of the Compromise of 1850...

Henry Cabot Lodge Senior of Massachusetts,

Alan Cranston of California

Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota,

Lyndon Johnson of Texas,

Everett Dirkson of Illinois,

Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts .

Do you have a speech writer that can write a Pulitzer prize winning book for you on great senators that had the courage of the convictions? It is such a good idea, I'm surprised no one has done it.

Somebody must have written a book on this subject by now. Our Great Senators were really great men, even if we did not or do not agree with their politics.

Perhaps this is a book that I could write? Hummmmmmm? It would probably sell if it had a really famous person write it.

It would sell in droves, you could call it Outlines of Valor . Use your 3 initials and it will do even better.

p.s. P. in C. is a great book
