None. He died between the general election and the date the electoral votes were cast, so they were divided among other candidates.

Because it lies behind the heart.
You’re right, Colibri. This was question No. 66 because that’s how many votes were allocated to the Democrats’ electors. After Greeley’s death they scattered 63 of the votes to Gratz Brown and three other politicos. As Cecil noted in The Straight Dope, three Georgia votes went to Greeley, but Congress rejected them.

Grant was a well and true professional drunk for a good while, including for a time during the Civil War. Then he quit drinking and went and kicked some Rebel ass. I don’t know if he took drinking back up after being elected President, but he had one of the worst administrations in history.

Nobody answered 54: In Just Shoot Me, what was the name of Jack Gallo’s latest ex-wife? Allie.
61. In German, it’s 30–dreissig (the others end in -zig: zwanzig, vierzig, usw.)
In Russian, 40 is sorok. (30 is tridtsat’, 50 is piatsat’, itd.)
In French, it’s 70, and 80 and 90. 60 is soixante, but 70 is soixante-dix (“sixty-ten”). 80 is “four-twenties” and 90 is “four-twenty-ten” (quatre-vingts, quatre-vingt-dix)
In Danish, 90 is halvfjerds. I don’t know what “fjerds” means.

Never knew that, dougie_monty. This is the list of books by Helen Keller I saw:
Journal
Midstream: My Later Life
My Religion
The Story of My Life
Teacher: Anne Sullivan Macy
The World I Live In
The Danish for 90 is halvfems, not halvfjerds, which is 70. How do you say “Oops!” in Danish? [:o to the nth power]
