I just picked the most obscure candidate there was - next to Tancredo that is.

Re: Politics Sheep: 4th Term

OK ... back to Question 21. Everyone went with a President who served in the 19th century, with two excptions, each worth zero points.

I just looked at my answer to this question. I think I missed that it was a "Sheep" question.

With this one I tried to pick someone who came after William Henry Harrison, before Theodore Roosevelt, and not one of Lincoln, Johnson, Cleveland, or Grant.

That was my theory. People remember the 30-day guy (like in that Simpsons Presidents school skit).

Re: Politics Sheep: 4th Term

We had quite a few unique answers. Is it that these guys aren't as forgettable as you thought, or is it that everyone but you forgot them? We'll never know.

Re: Politics Sheep: 4th Term

This is a tough question because your asking Who is the most obscure president that YOU YOURSELF and EVERYONE ELSE here has not forgotten.

So basically your asking

How much smarter than the average joe can you sound without being too much smarter than the average joe

Re: Politics Sheep: 4th Term

Since we're all falling asleep, let me ask a question.

How is it that a lawyer can spend all day running this game?

I would like to take this opportunity to assert that JasonF is going to use every player as a billable hour client, thus committing accounting fraud.
