Yes, there is an interesting phenomenon with those numbers. Those figures were accumulated over a span of 20 years (1989-2008).
Chris Dodd has been a senator since 1982.
John Kerry has been a senator since 1984.
How did Barack make it to the top of the list within the two short years he served as a senator?
