Last week’s question was: Of all those in the Senate today who voted on the McCain-Feingold bill 19 years ago, who is the only one who voted against their party’s position?
The answer? Susan Collins. The senator from Maine was among 11 Republicans who voted for the bill. But she is the only one still serving. And none of the three Democrats who voted no is still in the Senate either.
And the randomly selected winner is … Hunter Shawley of Black River Falls, Wis. Hunter wins the coveted Political Junkie button.
