Taft is correct.

I am surprised that it took you all so long to get that answer. It is a basic presidential trivia fact.

Are you F***ing serious!?!?!?

Right on!

Who was the first President to install electricity in the White House?

Benjamin Harrison, I'm almost positive (I assume you mean had electricity installed, rather than to install electricity).

All 3 have been on the cover of Time Magazine

Clearly my question was too vague.

What physical trait, outside of being males, white, and up there in years, do Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush and Ross Perot all have in common?

I guess it's my turn then:

Besides Hubert Humphrey and Robert Kennedy, who was considered one of Johnson's top choices for VP at the Atlantic City Convention?  This man actively promoted his candidacy behind the scenes to the Johnson people.

Not the one I'm thinking of.  This person is a sitting politician.

The only other ones I can think of are George Wallace and George McGovern.

I'll give you a hint which should make this very easy:

Let's just say that this man is happy that he wasn't Johnson's VP four years later.

Got it.

McCarthy based his political alliances very much on personal politics.  Humphrey, the other Minnesota Senator, getting the VP nod instead of him really turned him sour towards Humphrey and Johnson and contributed to him running in 1968.
