Title: Two-senator tickets Post by: nclib on July 22, 2004, 08:03:52 PM Other than Kerry/Edwards and Kennedy/Johnson, has there ever been a pres/VP ticket of two current senators?
Also, does anyone recall another instance of a pres./VP ticket with the same first name? Title: Re:Two-senator tickets Post by: Schmitz in 1972 on July 22, 2004, 08:26:05 PM Major party tickets that had two people with the same name has happened five times before:
1792: Dem-Rep ticket George Washington and George Clinton 1824: Dem-Rep ticket John Quincy Adams and John C Calhoun 1864: Democratic ticket George McClellan and George Pendleton 1892: People's ticket James Weaver and James Field 1916: Republican ticket Charles Evans Hughes and Charles Fairbanks I don't know the answer to the other question Title: Re:Two-senator tickets Post by: PBrunsel on July 22, 2004, 08:47:49 PM In 1960 two former Senators ran on the same ticket, Richard Nixon and Henry Cabot Lodge.
Title: Re:Two-senator tickets Post by: Lunar on July 22, 2004, 08:59:40 PM 1824 - John Adams/Calhoun
1864 - George McClellan/Pendleton 1892 - James Weaver/Field (Populist ticket - still won 5 states) 1916 - Charles Hughes/Fairbanks Title: Re:Two-senator tickets Post by: True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자) on July 22, 2004, 10:50:49 PM I wouldn't count the 1824 Adams/Calhoun pick as a ticket since they ran independent campaigns for President and Vice President. The VP race didn't go into the Senate as Calhoun trounced his opposition for that post. Indeed, he can truly be said to be tho only person in the history of the US who ran for Vice President on his own.
However, you've missed: 1872 Charles O'Conner/Charles Q. Adams II (Straight Out Democrat) 1904 Thomas E. Watson/Thomas H. Tibbles (Populist) 1956 Thonas C. Andrews/Thomas H. Werdel (Dixiecrat) Title: Re:Two-senator tickets Post by: qwerty on July 23, 2004, 12:49:01 AM There was the short lived McGovern/Eagleton ticket in 1972.

Title: Re:Two-senator tickets Post by: © tweed on July 23, 2004, 03:01:36 PM Kennedy and Johnson were both sitting Senators. Nclib already mentioned that. Title: Re:Two-senator tickets Post by: PBrunsel on July 23, 2004, 03:05:31 PM There was the short lived McGovern/Eagleton ticket in 1972. Despite Truman attempting to keep Eagleton on the ballot, his letter writng campaign failed. Title: Re:Two-senator tickets Post by: © tweed on July 23, 2004, 03:07:31 PM There was the short lived McGovern/Eagleton ticket in 1972. I bought a McGovern/Eagleton campaign button off eBay for a couple of bucks (including shipping) a few months ago. I also have bought some FDR and Dukakis pins. I may even start a collection, who knows. Title: Re:Two-senator tickets Post by: PBrunsel on July 23, 2004, 03:10:26 PM The oldest major ticket in history was Truman and Barkley in 1948. Truman was 64 and Barkley was 71.
The oldest VP nominee was Henry Davis of West Virginia in 1904, at the age of 80.

I may even start a collection, who knows. I have a "Reelect Hoover in '32" button. My grandfather gave it to me. His father was a big fan of "No Hand Out" Hoover, as he called him.
