My first attempt at a feud thread. I’ll start with the boilerplate (copied and pasted from **s time champ’s** [Religious Feud](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=477485) thread) DO NOT READ THIS THREAD BEFORE YOU POST YOUR ANSWERS Try to think of the most popular answer, to get the most people matching you. Scoring - Any answer duplicated by anyone else is worth 100 points divided by the number of entrants. For example: 50 entrant game = 2 pts per answer. If 4 people match that means they each get 8 pts for that answer. No matches = 0 points. And pro-rated if we don’t get 50 contestants. _ **FORMATTING OF ANSWERS IS IMPORTANT!** _ Write your answers like this; Do not repeat the questions, no periods at the end of answers, no spaces between lines, no comments, no fancy list coding. If you need to comment or clarify your answers, do it AFTER the list of answers. Thanks. JUST LIKE THIS: 1. answer 2. response 3. rejoinder Now on with the game. I’ll set an arbitrary deadline of thursday, July 31, at noon. 4. Name a United States Senator 5. Name a state with only three electoral votes. 6. Name one of the 2008 Republican candidates for President besides John McCain 7. Name an ELECTED head of state from any country besides the United States 8. Name a political columnist 9. Name a political party besides the Republicans and Democrats 10. Name a Governor of one of the 50 states 11. Name a red state 12. Name a blue state 13. Name a female politician besides Hillary Clinton Good luck and may the Force be with you. ---

I guess “head of state” was poorly phrased. I meant any elected head of government, Prime Ministers included. ---
