MEANEST
1. Arlen Specter (R-PA)
2. Barbara Mikulski (D-MD)
3. Ted Stevens (R-AK)
Fourth appearance for all three.
BIGGEST WINDBAG
1. Robert Byrd (D-WV)
2. Joe Biden (D-DE)
3. Rick Santorum (R-PA)
Byrd's third straight, um, win.
JUST PLAIN NICE
1. Blanche Lincoln (D-AR)
2. Mary Landrieu (D-LA)
3. Tie: Pat Roberts (R-KS), Michael Enzi (R-WY)
The mother of twins wins.
GUTSIEST
1. John McCain (R-AZ)
2. Zell Miller (D-GA)
3. James Jeffords (I-VT)
McCain's a bipartisan pick; renegade Democrat Miller got only GOP votes.
SPINELESS
1. Zell Miller (D-GA)
2. James Jeffords (I-VT)
Dems say Miller is a worm. Jeffords's defection still irks GOP.
BIGGEST BUSH WHACKER
1. Ted Kennedy (D-MA)
2. John Kerry (D-MA)
Kennedy picked up twice the votes of Kerry. Dick Durbin was a distant third.
BIGGEST KERRY ATTACKER
1. Rick Santorum (R-PA)
2. Bill Frist (R-TN)
3. Zell Miller (D-GA)
Frist got solid Democratic support but few votes from within the party he leads. A big vote from Dem aides put Miller on.
LOOKS GOOD IN A BATHING SUIT
1. Maria Cantwell (D-WA)
2. Mary Landrieu (D-LA)
3. Evan Bayh (D-IN)
John Edwards, People magazine's sexiest politician, ran a close fourth. Murkowski and Nevada's John Ensign were the top Republican choices.
SHOULD STAY OFF THE BEACH
1. Ted Kennedy (D-MA)
2. Barbara Mikulski (D-MD)
Kennedy doubled Mikulski's total to win the category for the third straight time.

BIGGEST WINDBAG
1. Sheila Jackson-Lee (D-TX)
2. David Obey (D-WI)
3. J.D. Hayworth (R-AZ)
Hayworth and Obey combined can't match Jackson-Lee's winning total.
JUST PLAIN NICE
1. Walter Jones (R-NC)
2. Lois Capps (D-CA)
Capps, a former school nurse, topped Jones in 2002 voting.
GUTSIEST
1. Chris Shays (R-CT)
2. Tom DeLay (R-TX)
Shays drew his support from across the aisle. DeLay did not.
SPINELESS
1. David Wu (D-OR)
2. Chris Shays (R-CT)
Two who buck their parties.
BIGGEST BUSH WHACKER
1. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)
2. Jim McDermott (D-WA)
3. Charles Rangel (D-NY)
Pelosi and McDermott finished neck and neck.
BIGGEST KERRY ATTACKER
1. Tom DeLay (R-TX)
California's Duke Cunningham and Texas's Sam Johnson finished far behind.
LOOKS GOOD IN A BATHING SUIT
1. Mary Bono (R-CA)
2. Stephanie Herseth (D-SD)
Hollywood glamour edged out farm-girl freshness. Pelosi, runner-up in our 2002 poll, finished well back in the pack.
SHOULD STAY OFF THE BEACH
1. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY)
2. Henry Hyde (R-IL)
Republicans piled on Nadler; Hyde's critics came from both sides.
BEST DRESSED
1. David Dreier (R-CA)
A landslide. Dreier's natty attire helped him win favor with Bo Derek.
FASHION VICTIM
1. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT)
DeLauro polled five times as many votes as anyone else.
MEMBER I'D LIKE TO SEE AS PRESIDENT IN 2012
1. Harold Ford Jr. (D-TN)
2. David Dreier (R-CA)
