	This quiz features my favorite congressperson of all time: Jeanette Rankin. In addition to be the first woman elected to the US House of Representatives, she holds the distinction of being the only member of congress to vote against entry into both WWI and WWII. The second time, she was the only member of congress to vote against war. What is even more cool about her is that she ONLY served two non-consecutive terms that happened to be at the beginning of both wars.

	Poor Tip O'Neill. Such a great politician (one of my favorites, actually), and he gets guessed less than Cheney and Larry Craig.

	@sprout...So we shouldn't have entered WWI?

	No, I think his point is that we shouldn't elect women to Congress. :)

	Nick Begich and Hale Boggs died on the same plane in 1972, but their end dates differ on the quiz. Also, I'm not from Illinois, but I'd be sad to see Dan Rostenkowski instead of Abe Lincoln as my most famous Congresscritter.
