of course there are typical jealous types like Jesse Helms whose mindset was still stuck half a century ago . and you have people like chuck Schumer .

but he seemed to been on good terms with others like Trent Lott.

when he ran for President he got support from some of them and people like Landrieu campaigned with him . remember this was when many who were running for the first time didn't want to appear with him. but someone who knew him like Landrieu did appear with him even though it could be used against her by republicans.

you know how there have been Senators of the same party from the same state who did not really like each other. but i noticed how Kerry got support from both. like the former ones from ohio (glenn , metzenbaum) nj (toricelli , lautenberg who loves kerry).
