	To avoid accusations of bias, there are ten questions centered on Democrat scandals and ten on Republican. I only included fairly recent scandals, I'm afraid the Teapot Dome Scandal didn't make the cut.

	Duke Cunningham was a congressman, not a senator.

	It's the Democratic Party, not the Democrat Party.

	Fixed and fixed. Feel free to point out other mistakes.

	I think that the answer for the Lewinsky scandal should be Bill Clinton, not Monica Lewinsky. And no Ensign or Sanford? Also (sorry if I seem overly critical, I did enjoy the quiz!) these are pretty 90s and 2000s centric, there was plenty of scandal before!

	pretty good, but gary hart was never a 'nominee' but just a candidate...I spent 5 mins trying all the party nominees I could think of but it didnt work...

	I like the quiz - I think it might be better ordered chronologically, though. Was surprised to see no Teapot Dome, but you explained that - no Sanford, though? The Sanford scandal is funny!

	I'm tempted to add Sanford, but I'd need a Democrat to go with him. What I'd REALLY like is to be able to add bonus answers. Oh, and I fixed Hart's entry.

	If you want to add Sanford, just add Dodd and "Friends of Angelo."

	Great quiz! Took me awhile to remember Gary Hart.

	I don't think Obama going to Wright's church can be considered scandal.

	What? No McGreevey?

	It it weird that I "couldn't recall" Alberto Gonzales' name? On a serious note, the Jeremiah Wright thing isn't a scandal, just an unfortunate association Obama had. He didn't do anything illegal by going to that church.

	you can add Paterson's nepotism and aide issues, or Rangel and his hideaway in the Caribbean if you want to add Sanford.

	if you do this quiz, you really should go the whole nine yards and at least try to include older, historical scandals (e.g. XYZ Affair, Teapot Dome)

	Is it sad that all I could think of for the CIA operative was "Naomi Watts?" Oh, and I second the inclusion of Sanford on here--he was my first thought when I saw this quiz.
