These are basic, nonpartisan, non-ideological questions. How many United States senators are there... who was the first president.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've been interested in American politics since I was eight. That was in 1968. It was an interesting year. I was a huge Eugene McCarthy supporter, so I guess he was the first senator I really knew about and cared about.
For a long time in American history, people didn't even come up before the Senate. They didn't come before the Judiciary Committee, and up until about 1923, something like that.
I believe being a good senator requires two things. Number one, acumen. Number two, interest.
Twenty-six years ago, I became the first Democratic woman elected to the Senate in her own right. I was the first, but I made sure I wasn't the only.
The bottom line is, there have been a lot of nuts elected to the United States Senate.
Well, I was 29 years old when I came to the United States Senate, and I have learned a lot.
I don't think we've asked the right questions, the tough questions, at the right time, in Washington.
I'm president of the Senate. I'm not a neophyte when it comes to understanding political alignments and misalignments.
America has only 100 Senators for 309 million people, but Stormont has 108 members for 1.7 million.
Republican secretaries of state from Kissinger to Baker, Powell to Rice, President Bush, 71 United States Senators all supported President Obama's new START treaty, but not Mitt Romney.
