I'm so embarrassed at how badly I did. I only got my home state (TX). How did I forget Alaska?! I tried so many other spellings for Shwarzenegger, that I finally just tried "The Terminator." When that didn't work, I gave up. Lol.

Blagojevich was not only kicked out of Illinois politics. He has now been kicked off Sporcle as well.

1/50. I got Schwarzenegger. I used to know my home state's, but then he was kicked out of office and replaced with a guy I've never heard of. Palin is the only one I feel bad for missing.

This quiz will need to be updated: Today, Kathleen Sebelius resigned as governor of Kansas to become the new U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services. She is succeeded by Mark Parkinson (Dem).

Jon Huntsman of Utah will soon be gone-- he's the new ambassador to China. He'll be replaced by Gary Herbert. But not yet. This is just a heads-up. =;)

I know this is probably old and well-known news, but Palin's resigning soon, so Sporcle might want to start fixing that

I managed to name all the governors of New England except Vermont's. Other than Patrick, doesn't look like too many are very well-known. At least they're not bats*** insane like #1.

Ugh, for some reason I just couldn't spell "Schwarzenegger." Kaine and Corzine (Virginia and New Jersey) now need to be updated as well!

Kaine and Corzine are still in office, McDonnell takes office 16 January and Christie on 19 January. But at that point they will need updating.

I think that anyone who got 100% on this was either cheating or has taken this quiz many many times.

Parnell is the most guessed? Also, it's not that hard to remember 50 names.

@JoeyJoeJoe, I think Parnell's percentage might be carried over from the people who took this when Palin was still the answer.
