The Feud: Government by Two Guys with long names [game over]

[Dolores Reborn]

Object of the game:
Give the most popular answer for each category.

Rules:
1. No reading the thread before answering. This is on the honor system.
2. Formatting rules must be followed (see below).
3. Joke answers will not be considered, as it is not fair to other players.
4. Google (etc.) is allowed, if you desire.
5. The game will end with a maximum of 50 entrants, and I will score it when I have time available.
6. There is no Rule 6.
7. Special Rules for this particular Feud: None

Formatting rules:
To make semi-automated scoring possible, and my job easier, make your post look exactly like this:

1. answer
2. answer
3. answer
4. answer

No double spacing, do not use the "list" function, no smilies, no urls, no periods, no quote marks, and no punctuation if it is not necessary. Put "pass" if you want to leave an answer blank. If you feel you must qualify your answer, do it AFTER THE LIST! If you don’t format like this, your answers might be DISQUALIFIED.

Scoring:
An answer with a match is worth 2 points. If 4 people match, they each get 8 points for that answer. No matches = 0 points. Anyone who responds to a question with two answers will only have the first one counted as their answer.

Good luck!

If any of you have ideas for Feuds -and would like me to score them- PM me. If anyone wants to run their own Feud, feel free. I will help any way I can.

Read the rules!
Special Rules for this particular Feud: None




1. Name a Democrat who ran for president in the last 100 years but lost.
2. Name a Republican who ran for president in the last 100 years but lost.
3. Name a President who did not graduate from college.
4. Name one current Supreme Court Justice.
5. Name a President with a Law degree.
6. Name a blue state.
7. Name a red state.

Top 16. Woot Woot. Thanks Rebo!

[ReticulatingSplines]

Holy crap, I won?! I thought Al Franken and Scalia would do me in.

[twickster]

Dammit. My first thought was Perot, but since I went for most recent on Dem and Rep, I chose Nader instead.

And I tanked on current rep/sen.

So I'm smack dab in the middle -- not where I'm used to being when it comes to politics. ;)

[Elendil's Heir]

20th is the best I've done in a looooooooong time. Thanks for the Feud!

[Chronos]

Wow, that's a lot better than I usually do. I anticipated that Perot would be a contender (though obviously I thought he'd be second), but I'm not sure why Barney Frank is so high in the hivemind consciousness.
