	Really? Four minutes to guess eight names?

	micah:	Oct 2nd, 2009 at 02:34 GMT	0 points
	Yeah, this could easily be a one- or two-minute quiz.

	It's spelt 'Stephen' Colbert. And yes, I'm correcting the spelling on bonus answers.

	I love that "crazy" gets Mike Gravel. Awesomeness. And nothing like the "Silent, angry man throws rock in the pond" campaign ad. Pure genius...

	It's easier to spell?

	Tom Vilsack and Evan Bayh should be included as they were official candidates who dropped out before the first primary. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic_Party_(United_States)_presidential_candidates,_2008

	Why is crazy accepted for Mike Gravel?

	GJK:	Oct 2nd, 2009 at 09:31 GMT	2 points
	Perhaps people are confusing "candidate" with "runner-up" and thus forget to include Obama?

	rockgolf:	Oct 2nd, 2009 at 19:52 GMT	4 points
	I only got 5, which left me in a blue state...

	...why is crazy accepted for Gravel.... not that it didn't make me laugh but still...

	Obama resigned his Senate seat in 2009, not 2008. A minor quibble, I know, but thing like that bother me.

	...THE HELL MISSED OBAMA???

	adamnvillani:	Oct 17th, 2009 at 10:04 GMT	1 point
	Actually, Obama resigned in November 2008 after winning the election. Check Wikipedia.
