A point of advice, by the way: It really helps if your thread title relates to what you’re asking about. With a title like “American history question: Catholic presidential candidate?”, say, or even just “American history question”, you’re going to attract people who know American history. With a title like “PLEASE ANSWER!! — in a hurry — question…”, you’ll tend to attract people who are just bored or curious, and who don’t necessarily know about what you’re asking about. In this case, you got lucky, and one of the folks who looked did know, but that might not happen next time.
