I could probably ask Al who won the position of chief dogcatcher of Fayette County, WV in 1892, and he could tell me off the top of my head.

That reminds me of a convo I had at the Young DFL HQ right after we did our final GOTV push:

me: Hey, can I check your laptop? I want to see any early results.
Girl: Yeah, the polls on the east coast should be closed by now.
me: Actually, the first states that declare their results are Indiana and Kentucky. Seats you want to watch are KY-3, IN-2, IN-8 and IN-9. If we win KY-3 we should have a good night and the Democrat's led by a wide margin for a long time in IN-8. In IN-2 we've led but it looks like the Republican might be closing, so this seat could also show what type of night it'll be for us.
Girl: *stunned* How did you know all of that just off the top of your head?
me: uh, I just know things like that

That sort of thing came so naturally to me I was actually suprised she was suprised.

Jimrtex beats me handily concerning Texas knowledge.

Of the ones listed, Al, though.

Al, probably.

I have freakish knowledge of voting patterns in Washington - I know how every town voted, demographics, and a good chunk of the precincts, and can give a pretty detailed and concise summary of each county.  But Washington isn't as complicated of a state as the others listed, and I don't have the same levels of historical knowledge.

I'm hoping to get there, though. Tongue

Hence why he got the better side of the "/" I still think you rank second behind him..and Al behind the both of you.

Just because Flyers can name neighborhoods in Philly doesn't mean he has detailed information. I'd ramble them off, too, except they are usually irrelevant to the discussion.

I would have to say Al.

I'm nearly clueless on western PA.  What I know about there is feedback from other PA Young Dems.

lol, yea, I got some funny looks when I discussed politics with a friend last monday. Most people consider it really out of the ordinary to even know the names of candidates outside your own state.

However, to answer the question, Al.
