Oh, fer fuck's sake Berry: Aside from Wellstone & Carnahan there's not been a decent pol plane peturburance since Hale Boggs and company pulled a pre-Skynnard Skynnard.

Now ask yourself something and be honest:

I'll assume, arguendo, that you could name Messers Van Zandt, Holly, et al, but didja really know who Wellstone, Carnahan or Boggs were before you read the sidebar article?

Of course you didn't.

STFU.
