	Really creative quiz, especially if you watched all of the debates yourself and recorded each name. Surprised Jesus wasn't mentioned at least once.

Comment below threshold: show it

	I'm also not sure this should be in TV (though I wouldn't know where to put it otherwise- Miscellaneous?), but I'm making it an Editor's Pick anyway. Yet another great quiz, DB.

	redsoxfan24:	Oct 15th, 2011 at 15:27 GMT		-2 points
	If this was my quiz, it would go in Miscellaneous or Entertainment. I didn't realize that as all these debates are televised, it could be considered TV.

	rockgolf:	Oct 15th, 2011 at 16:17 GMT		15 points
	I have to admit: The combination of this quiz name and the name of the quiz creator caused a really bad mental picture.

	Khazar49:	Oct 15th, 2011 at 19:38 GMT		2 points
	Great idea for a quiz. It doesn't accept Geithner, though. Only the full name.

	myb555:	Oct 15th, 2011 at 20:52 GMT		15 points
	I can't imagine the nightmare of having to accept alternate answers for Muammar Gaddafi.

	save_ferris15:	Oct 15th, 2011 at 21:34 GMT		4 points
	Good thing Hitler was never mentioned.

	chair:	Oct 15th, 2011 at 21:35 GMT		7 points
	Really enjoyed this, fantastic idea. I was surprised that Pelosi has been mentioned more often than Boehner!

	Fantastic idea for a quiz!

	Am I the only one who got most of these names from watching way too much SNL? Ugh...

	Annie1:	Oct 17th, 2011 at 15:45 GMT		7 points
	No Jesus?

	Manticore:	Oct 18th, 2011 at 13:09 GMT		20 points
	It's as though John McCain never existed.

	Hey, folks! Thank you to everyone who's played this quiz. As many of you know, there's a Republican debate in just a few hours. I'll be counting real-time and will be updating the quiz after the debate tonight. I'll be re-watching for accuracy tomorrow, so this quiz should be 100% accurate for the next three weeks or so starting tomorrow. Thanks for your patience while I count.

	to make a debate fun you can make a rule where you have to drink everytime you hear the word "plan"

	ricestillfumbled:	Oct 20th, 2011 at 00:18 GMT		8 points
	you could put anderson cooper...it seems like every other word backmann said last light was "anderson" in that screecy voice trying to get an argument across

	baconstud01:	Oct 20th, 2011 at 03:49 GMT		6 points
	Don't know why Annie1 got voted down. My first guess was Jesus. I'm shocked he hasn't been mentioned three times given all the evangelical candidates.

	Djibouti:	Oct 21st, 2011 at 02:34 GMT		7 points
	I haven't seen all of the debates (there's sooooooo many), but this list is very indicative of the hotbed issues in America right now; i.e. domestic issues and the economy. 5 economists make the list, but only 1 current foreign leader. I'm a little bit surprised that major world players like Angela Merkel, Hu Jintao, and Vladimir Putin/Dmitry Medvedev aren't being discussed at all.

	Djibouti:	Oct 21st, 2011 at 02:39 GMT		4 points
	(whoops, hit the comment button by mistake) ...and I know they've been talking about Afghanistan and Iraq, and I'm really surprised no one is mentioning Hamid Karzai or Nouri al-Malaki by name

	LevellingUp:	Oct 21st, 2011 at 20:43 GMT		12 points
	"Huh? Why were they mentioning an obscure Atlanta Braves infielder from the 1980s so much?" (looks up Glenn Hubbard, learns it's a conservative economist dude) "Oh."

	burnsy:	Oct 22nd, 2011 at 01:47 GMT		7 points
	Wait, what about Steve Jobs? All these candidates keep talking about how important he is.

	mneh:	Oct 22nd, 2011 at 02:23 GMT		5 points
	@burnsy If there's one thing Republicans don't want to talk about, it's jobs. [rereads] Oh, STEVE Jobs. That's different.

	debbiedoesnothin:	Oct 22nd, 2011 at 18:43 GMT		4 points
	@Djibouti: At least half these candidates couldn't tell you those names if you asked for them. Anybody else get a lot of the answers by trying to think of people Republicans don't like?

	debbiedoesnothin:	Oct 22nd, 2011 at 18:44 GMT		4 points
	@burnsy: Maybe they'd support it if Obama had called it the Steve Jobs bill.

	TrivialSteve:	Oct 23rd, 2011 at 02:31 GMT		2 points
	Suggest you allow alternate spellings for Gaddafi (i.e. Ghaddafi, Quaddafi, Qaddafi); its a transliteration of a foreign alphabet, so they're all kind of right.

	dudemanbearpig:	Oct 23rd, 2011 at 02:46 GMT		4 points
	This page gave me a Herman Cain ad.

	dolebanana:	Oct 23rd, 2011 at 03:25 GMT		3 points
	@TrivialSteve: Sadly, there's a maximum number of characters allowed per answer and I hit that limit without breaking a sweat. I kept the ones that I felt people had the best chance of guessing.

	NatAlex92:	Oct 23rd, 2011 at 06:36 GMT		5 points
	I'm very shocked to see that Jesus avoided this.

	Dr_Know:	Oct 23rd, 2011 at 22:34 GMT		15 points
	I'm most surprised that Ronald Reagan was only mentioned 50 times. I thought it was mandatory for each candidate to mention him at least 50 times in every public appearance.

	guide:	Oct 24th, 2011 at 22:07 GMT		1 point
	Fascinating quiz!

	treblat:	Oct 25th, 2011 at 01:36 GMT		6 points
	I remembered Huntsman mentioned Kurt Cobain once for some reason, good to see that's a bonus.

	PurpleMonkey:	Oct 25th, 2011 at 03:42 GMT		3 points
	50 mentions for Ronnie Raygun? Let him go, he's dead.

	Xpider:	Oct 26th, 2011 at 09:14 GMT		1 point
	Kudos on the research with all the bonuses. Okay, granted, that meant that I was guessing a lot of people with less than 3 mentions, but then again, I haven't watched the debates. I work nights.

	lazermike:	Oct 26th, 2011 at 20:24 GMT		1 point
	Fantastic quiz!

	crow_t_robot:	Oct 26th, 2011 at 20:47 GMT		2 points
	This is basically just a quiz of "What are Republicans blaming things on during these debates?" Let's see...Obama, both Clintons, Dodd-Frank, foreign leaders with scary sounding names, Dem leaders, the Treasury Department...yup, basically all the people whose "fault" it is. After all, why else would they be debating about it?

	theBCI:	Oct 29th, 2011 at 02:31 GMT		5 points
	I'm still hoping Cain is the nominee so there might be a "Vote for me, Get 1 free pizza and additional pizzas for $9" deal

	cocky:	Nov 5th, 2011 at 11:06 GMT		1 point
	Yes, the Republicans are evil for mentioning Demorcat leaders. I'm sure if you did a quiz on the 2008 Democrat debates you wouldn't see any mention of Bush, Cheney, etc.

	Akhoya:	Nov 10th, 2011 at 09:36 GMT		10 points
	Why is there no mention of God? Oh, that's right, it's Reagan.
