Used to be a time there were two Basses in Congress from the ‘50s to the ‘60s. Perkins from NH and Ross from down here in TN. Perkins was very quiet and Ross would never shut up. Their fellow members called Perkins “Small Mouth Bass” and Ross was called “Large Mouth Bass.”
Perkins tried to win a Senate seat to succeed Styles Bridges, but shockingly lost to a Dem in the 1962 special (after a barnburner of a GOP primary that featured both Congressmen including Perkins and (future Dem) Chester Merrow, the appointed Senator Maurice Murphy and the Widow Bridges, the latter who lost by a very narrow 1.7% margin to Perkins). The Dem, Tom McIntyre, ended up holding the seat for the next 16 years until he was beaten by Gordon Humphrey in 1978.
2 years later, Ross did manage to win a brutal primary over Gov. Frank Clement (Bob’s dad) for a special Senate race in 1964 (so the Basses missed out on serving together in the Senate). He only served for 2 years when the full term came up, and Ross lost to Frank this time in an upset. But much like with the free-for-all in NH, the seat was lost to a Republican, Howard Baker, Jr.
So here was the story how the involvement of two Basses cost their respective parties safe and solid Senate seats in their states.
