...and the category is something about Who won the state in the Presidential General Election/year.  The clue was "North Carolina, 2008" and the guy said "Who is Edwards?"

Seriously???

Is it true that if you get a minus amount on that show, you have to pay the whatever the minus amount is?

He's been trying to get on the show for 15 years.  Even if he's Canadian, he's been here long enough that he should've known the first question.

Maybe he didn't pay attention to the news that night (or almost all nights in early 2008)?

OK, then if he would've said "McCain," I would've understood, but Edwards?

Maybe he thought they were asking him about the primaries? And even though Edwards didn't win the NC primary in 2008, he was from there.

That's a bit of a stretch, as that would imply that he wasn't paying attention to the category.

Maybe that person confused Nixon with Reagan, since they both won massive EV landslides.

Both candidates were awful, but yeah, epic fail on Massachusetts' part.

My county couldn't even pull in for Reagan in 1984, either. Sad

Yeah, the only state to reject that sadistic warmongering crook Nixon.

They probably don't care (understandably) and just said the first name that came to mind.  In which case I'm pretty impressed he came up with Edwards.
