Too easy for most people here. A better challenge would be to name a politician who isn't a Governor, Senator, or Representative.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Too easy for most people here. A better challenge would be to name a politician who isn't a Governor, Senator, or Representative.

Or name a politician who's deceased.

[tmthforu94]

Yeah, a bit too easy for this forum. I did the first name that came to mind each state. Another challenging exercise would be to name the governor and senators of each state, and an even bigger challenge would to see who could name the most members of Congress.

I'm unsure about whether Weiland counts, though.

[Figueira]

OK, it's actually Greg Gianforte and Mark Schauer, Weiland does indeed count, and I'll go with Mike Foley as the Nebraska person.

I'd say I did pretty well. I need to brush up on Montana, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Michigan politics apparently.
