	Roosevelt should trigger both Teddy and Franklin.

	I think you should remove the "none" years or maybe make them bonus answers... it's a bit confusing when you think you're supposed to be typing in a name.

	Willkie is misspelled.

	Why does typing in "Roosevelt" only bring up Teddy? That gave me the impression that they never endorsed FDR.

	Yeah, "none" should go because the Times did endorse two candidates. John Cox in 1920 and John Davis in 1924. Look here: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2008/10/23/opinion/20081024-endorse.html

	Also, according to the Times own website, it endorsed John Palmer in 1896 and Alton Parker in 1904.

	Thanks for the Times website. The American Presidency Project where I got the initial information must have been mistaken. I have updated and now the information should be correct.

	Would be better without the parties.

	Also, why none of the pre-1900 candidates? The Times would have been endorsing candidates from the 1850s onwards, I think.

	I think I see a trend in their more recent (i.e. past 50 years) endorsements...

	They never endorsed Teddy Roosevelt. why are people saying his name comes up?

	Imri:	Oct 4th, 2009 at 20:41 GMT		2 points
	I actually like having the parties. Also, I'm not sure if "FDR" triggers Roosevelt, but "JFK" should trigger Kennedy.

	I don't like having the parties, that makes it just "do you know who this party's candidate was that year" which has nothing to do with the NY Times.
