Lyndon Johnson, as majority leader of the United States Senate, he made the Senate work.

He'd sooner rather have his nails pulled out than sit in the United States Senate with 99 others guys who think they should be president.

Evan Bayh is a true leader in the United States Senate. He's one of the Democratic Party's rising stars and has a very exciting future ahead. We are thrilled to welcome him to South Carolina and look forward to hearing his vision for America.

The bottom line is, there have been a lot of nuts elected to the United States Senate.

Everyone believed the Senate could not really be led. It used to take so long to rise up through seniority. In two years Lyndon Johnson is assistant leader of his party. In four years he is the leader of his party.

The United States Senate wasn't designed to be a majority-rule institution. It was designed to include and accommodate the rights of the minority in small states as well as large states.
