Hahaha, no one can spell Czolgosz. :D (Woo Minnesota! Go Mondale!)

	Got Minnesota, and D-R, but missed Oswald, Gore and Biden.

	Can you add DC as a bonus answer for Mondale? I know we aren't a state but we do have three electoral votes. It is the one thing we can actually vote for.

	Didn't Lincoln run on the National Union Ticket, not Republican, due to the fact that Johnson was a Democrat?

	I can't believe I got Breckenridge but forgot about Bush. :/

	I never knew that about Rhode Island.

	I think I lose serious street cred knowing Samuel Tilden but missing Joe Biden.

	Czolgosz. Czolgosz. Czolgosz. C Z O L G O S Z... I probably still won't be able to spell it tomorrow. :/

	Thank you for accepting some mispellings of Czolgosz, otherwise I would never have gotten it!

	I would like to thank Sarah Vowell and her book on presidential assassins; a good read and it got me four answers on a Sporcle quiz. Woot!

	Thank you Stephen Sondheim!

	Lincoln ran on the Constitutional Union ticket in 1864.

	You should put a new category: American chocolate companies :D

	please accept "democratic republican" without a hyphen, as well as "democrats" for democratic

	I think pneumonia should be a bonus answer for presidential assassins.

	Booger:	Jun 23rd, 2011 at 14:31 GMT		4 points
	@ adjamemnon: I too read that Sarah Vowell book - Assassination Vacation I think it is called. Definitely worth a read!

	Bah, I tried Democratic/Republican

	I'm guessing the 28% who missed Oswald simply don't believe he assassinated Kennedy.

	The Republicans did run under the National Union name in 1864, but it was more an election gimmick than anything else; still, you might want to have it come up as a bonus.

	I really love grab bag quizzes. 5 globes!

	Great quiz! How could I forget Aaron Burr, especially after reading both "Eagles Cry" and "Treason" by David Nevin??? Rhode Island was the last of the original 13 colonies to be admitted, in 1790 - just made the cut for the quiz. She was also the last state to ratify the Constitution.

	@Tony_A: your first point follows from your second, by definition.

	In 1864, Abraham Lincoln wanted to transcend partisan politics and appeal to both Democrats and Republicans. However, as we know based on the way politics is now, he knew that Democrats would have a hard time voting Republican. Therefore, he made Johnson his VP and ran under the National Union Party in order to run. Whether or not it was a gimmick, it was still a legitimate political party and ended up in the White House.

	@Phraxos, Thanks. Sometimes I forget that the states date from the signing of the Constitution (ie Delaware being the 1st) and not from the Declaration.

	@JPGunit- you can also vote for crackheads for mayor :P
