[edit] Colors

We have to put in party designations. Color-blind readers can't necessarily see them. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Formatting issues. Color can be left in, but we need to have also the (D) and (R) for the parties.—Mark Adler (markles) 21:19, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] John Macpherson Berrien (D-R) incorrectly listed for term as Class (2) senator?=

In updating entries for Georgia's Senators, I think that John Macpherson Berrien (D-R) is incorrectly listed as a class 2 senator from 1829-1831. Those were the years that he was the US Attorney General. Surely, he didn't do both. Looks like the cong. bio site incorrectly states that in search, but Berrien's actual bio contradicts that. Any good sources to check this out? I'd also like to see if there were any interim Senators between Berrien's later resignation in May 1845 and subsequent reelection on November 13, 1845. Would someone mind confirming/disproving my oberservation before I edit? --Roswell native 04:50, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

This is an old request. I've corrected the listing. He was a Class 3 senator during this time according to Congressional Quarterly's Guide to Elections. However, I can't seem to figure out the rows and columns in the table to make it display properly, so George M. Troup is listed twice in a row. Anyone care to take a stab at fixing the table?Dcmacnut 04:37, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
