Poll Finds Lautenberg Hottest U.S. Senator

Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) may be the least popular elected official in New Jersey but, he is currently ranked the hottest U.S Senator on a web survey according to this Philadelphia Inquirer report.

The 81-year-old politician last week veered a little off topic as he addressed a meeting on the state's transportation funding woes. The snowy-haired Democrat had just learned that he had been rated second-hottest U.S. senator, trailing only Illinois' Barack Obama. Lautenberg told his slightly bemused audience that he was delighted" with his sexpot status. As of yesterday, Lautenberg had surged ahead of Obama, with a score of 7.8 out of 10. [Ed - As of today Lautenberg maintains his lead.]
