> [@Rebo](#): > > 1. Other than the incumbent, name the worst president. > **2. Nixon 11** I am not a fan of Nixon’s, but seriously, worst ever? I don’t think so. Fun Feud! Thanks, **EH** , for writing it – and, as always, thanks **Dolores** for running it. ---

Wow. I did bad. And for the record, Harry S Truman only looks thin because he was always pictured with his wife who was even fatter, as shown by America: the Book. ---

I cannot believe how little support Washington got on that first question. ---

> [@cmkeller](#): > > I cannot believe how little support Washington got on that first question. Alas, he who was once “first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen” isn’t so much anymore. He had my vote here, though. Heh. Coolidge was mentioned as both a thin and a plump president. 44th out of 50 in my own Feud? Sheesh. Oh, well, it was fun. Be sure to vote for real today, everyone! ---

> [@Fiddle\_Peghead](#): > > 1. If a lot of you do crosswords Fala will be a good pick. I’m thinking maybe I should have put Socks, the Clintons’ cat, but I’m sticking with my first reaction. Stupid first reactions! I might have won if I’d picked Socks. Oh well, only my fourth feud and I cracked the top ten. ---

> [@Rebo](#): > > And the winner is ~~~drumroll~~~ **Justin\_Bailey**!!! Way to go! :: flings tickertape:: **Justin** got 7/10 right. Good job! Awesome! See my friends. I know how to win Feud games. You can’t win in the fast money if you ignore the people in the fast lane. And Joe the Plumber always loved Checkers and under that one’s scoring plan, you’d actually get fewer points for Checkers. 😃 ---

I knew saying Lincoln for (nearly) everything would pay off! Any time I’m in the top half I consider that “paying off.” 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/election-day-special-a-u-s-presidential-feud-by-elendils-heir-closed/471053.md?page=3)
