I think we have to figure that out.  I'm thinking it's probably something to do with Vice-Presidential candidates.

Sargent is Sargent Shriver.

Frederick is Frederick Douglass.

Anne I don't know.

And Millard is Millard Fillmore.

You are wrong on two out of the three.  Smiley

No need to include Arnold if the list is middle names of losing Democratic Vice Presidential nominees.

Actually, I just wanted the last two names on the list, or:

Joseph Isadore Lieberman
John Reid Edwards

Note that Walter Frederick Mondale was elected Vice President.

Joe,

The 1st president born in a hospital was Jimmy Carter, if I am not mistaken.

Correct, but True Dem got in there before you.  Wink

I believe True Dem's question has been answered correctly, so if I may:

Name all of the Governors of New York who have served as either President or major party nominee in a presidential election.

Bonus credit:  Name all of the NY Governors to serve as VP or major party running mate.  Smiley

Wendel Wilkie/Charles McNary - both died before possible re-election in 1944.

In spite of personal differences what recreation was shared between Washington, Jefferson and Adams?

Didn't I get Joe's question right on New Yorkers and the Presidency of the United States? Sad
