The basic idea of this thread is that you answer the Presidential Election trivia question asked by the previous poster.  I'll get it started:

Easy one, Hiram Johnson of California.

Now for my question, in what year did Henry Cabot Lodge jr. loose to Kennedy for a Massachussetts senate seat?

You didn't read it correctly. You were suppose to answer the question above! Bloody Hell.

1952 was the year Henry Cabot Lodge Junior lost to John F. Kennedy.

In 1946, Richard Nixon won California's 12th Congressional District seat, who did he defeat?

Jerry Voorhis. Who was a five term incumbent.

Are you going to ask another question?

1962

In what years has a President been elected while losing Pennsylvania and New York?

[Kaine for Senate '18]

How can anybody know for sure if people aren't just cheating by using Wikipedia?

I am hoping people will be honest.

1962

In what years has a President been elected while losing Pennsylvania and New York?

1916, 1948, 1968  

Just a note, you can trust that I am being honest.

I have studied Presidential politics since June of 2005. I know all of the political maps from 1932 to present like the back of my own hand.

I have read all sorts of books about the Presidents.

Apparently, you didn't look too closely, Bush lost NY and PA in 2000 and 2004, but he still won.  Also, please remember to ask a question at the end of each post.

Who did Al Gore endorse in 2004?

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Gporter, please try to learn how to use quotes properly.  If you would like some advice, PM me.

Reagan endorsed Barry Goldwater, and gave his speech in October.

Who was the first candidate to lose the Popular Vote but win the election?  Also, Gore endorsed Dean, not Kerry.

No, Jackson lost the election to Adams.  The answer was Rutherford Hayes.  Remember to ask a question after answering the previous one.

My question is, who was the first "king" to become President of the United States?

You ignored my answer, which was the correct one.  Pay attention.

It was Andrew Johnson. Now answer the following question, which was posted before...

Who was the first "king" to become President of the United States?

If that is the answer for my question, then it is incorrect.

Two of mine still out:

1.  There are six name changers.  The five listed so far are:

Grant (Hirum)
Cleveland (Stephen)
Wilson (Thomas)
Ford (Leslie King, Jr.)
Clinton (William Jefferson Blyth)

There is one missing.  Who is it.

2.  Which president was first elected to public office at age 20?

I do not know the answer to the first question off the top of my head, but I do know the answer to the second question.

The answer to the second question is John F. Kennedy.

My question is...

Which member of Johnson's cabinent had a bad relationship with him from 1965 on, but did not resign until spring of 1968?

McNamara?

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Cyrus Vance?

Who was the last Democratic candidate to win all 11 Southern states?

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Harold Brown?

[Kaine for Senate '18]

William Randolph Hearst

Who was the first Governor elected President?

[Kaine for Senate '18]

One of the Reconstruction-era Senators, perhaps?

Blanche K. Bruce, probably just as a Mississippi favorite son, in the...1880? Republican Convention?

Winner!

Who are the only two President's to lose their homestates?

Woodrow Wilson (1916)
Richard Nixon (1968)

My question is as follows:

Where was President-Elect John F. Kennedy when he learned that his wife had given birth to John F. Kennedy Jr.?

Nixon won California 48% - 45% in 1968.

But in 1968 his home state was New York.

That is the same thing that I said in my previous post.

Dude, calm down

Homestate is the state you were born in.  Like Hillary's homestate is Illinois, though she lived in Arkansas, D.C. and is a Senator now for NY.

Politically speaking, I think homestate is where you launch your political base.  I mean, I consider Reagan's homestate to be California, but he was born in Illinois.  Eisenhower was all over the place; some people have him in Kansas, Texas, and I think New York as well.  So, it's kind of ambiguous.

By using that standard, both Bushes lost their home states 4 times; I think they born in Massachusetts.  And Eisenhower's home state in 1956 was, Pennsylvania.

Wow, I was way off

You mean born outside? Lincoln.

Name the first president to attend a World Series game while in office?
