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.

That Libertarian in '72. Don't remember the name.

During the presidential history of the 1990s and early 21st century, we saw a situation in which an incumbent was defeated for re-election, his successor serving two full terms in office, and then the original incumbent's son winning election in an open race and going on to serve two terms.

This same situation has happened before in a state-level race, involving a person who would later become president.  When and where was it, and who were the people involved?

Clue #1:  The office was governor.

CA, 1962-1982: Pat Brown, Reagan, Jerry Brown
Incidentally, Pat Brown defeated Nixon.

Who was the last sitting Representative to be elected President?

New query (easy):

New query (easy):

An actual army, Washington and Lincoln.

Washington is right, but Lincoln never commanded an army in person on a battlefield.

He wasn't commandng, though.

Ask a question now.

Just a statement on the Reagan question. Many of you are close to the right answer, some are not.

The true information is...

The last democrat that Reagan supported nationally was Harry Truman in the 1948 election. He supported Eisenhower in 1952 and again in 1956. He endorsed and worked for Richard Nixon in 1960, not Kennedy, as Warner for Senate "knew" that he supported Kennedy in 1960. This was not true.

Reagan officially switched parties in 1962.

I never said I knew the answer.  I guessed, like I do on most of these.

Well the point is that you were wrong.

Anyone who knows a good amount of information on Presidential politics and history would know that Reagan supported Nixon in 1960, and not Kennedy. What does that say about your knowledge of Presidential politics and history.

And, why would Reagan support Kennedy after he supported Eisenhower in the past two elections up to that point. It is more logical that he would support Nixon. Use your brain.

I apologize for not knowing every candidate that that senile old grandfather supported in every Presidential election.  I was unaware that he supported Eisenhower, so i figured he would support Kennedy.

Do you even read the posts. I said that he supported Eisenhower.

You said that after I answered.  Shouldn't you be in school right now?

Oh, do not talk to me like you are my father and I am your son.

You should be in school right now. Mine is out for sickness.

I am in school (I'm failing the class, wonder why?)

Just because you are failing the class does not mean that you should be doing political commentary during school. Does your teacher know that you are doing this right now or are you deliberately disobeying your teacher by doing what you are doing on the computer right now?

The latter.

I did that three times last week! In a class in which I had an F halfway through second quarter! YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!11111111111111

I'll guess either Illinois or California, depending on how fast the results came in

Which one was it. Do not guess what the answer is, but know what the answer is.

What is my middle name? Do not guess what the answer is, but know what the answer is. For that matter, know the rest of my name.
