Republican senators who appear to be listening most intently, hour after hour:
Collins, Murkowski
And I don't think it's really a close call.
(In my time in the chamber I haven't seen either of their chairs empty or either of them doing anything but paying attention.)

Lamar doing a lot of standing from different points around the room. Rob Portman paying close attention, taking a lot of notes.
Cory Gardner seems to be intently taking notes, but he also fairly frequently pays visits to the cloakroom.

Another senator who is almost always in his seat & staring at the presentations: Mitch McConnell.
Senator who I think is having the hardest time sitting still: Lindsey Graham.
I don't have as good a view of Romney, a junior member who is on the opposite side of the chamber as my seat, & straight down, and I have vertigo this week. But when I have seen him he's playing close attention, often looking at the speaker over reading glasses with docs in hand.
