| Dewey shouldn't be on this list; he defeated Truman in 1948. |

| Also, in the Parallel Earth cartoons from This Modern World, McCain is president. |

| Maybe you should explain that the Electoral College votes are cumulative (for dummies like me). |

| And I thought the trick might include Electoral Votes in a landslide year for Vice Presidents who never became President (say John Nance Garner in 1936), since the language doesn't seem to exclude that. |

| Poor Adlai Stevenson; he can't even make this list despite running twice in an era that had 531 votes in the Electoral College. |

| A 'trick' might have been the insertion of the word elected between never and president. Think of a president who was never elected. There's a __________ in your future. |

| Say what you like about William Jennings Bryan, he was persistent. |

| Okay. This makes much more sense now that I realize the numbers are cumulative. I wanted to know just what kind of technicality allowed a candidate to get 493 votes in one election and still somehow lose. |

| No where does the quiz specify most electoral votes for president. The electoral college votes for vice president, as well, completely separate from the presidential vote. |

| when the dust has settled after the 2012 election, we're should see romney's name on this list. |

| Is it safe to add Romney at 206, or are you waiting for the college to officially vote? |

| @RonaldRayGun- It's better to wait. You never know when a faithless elector might be hiding in the bushes! |
