sure, with VPs too (though I might have to stop to think for a second somewhere down the line). Year of birth, year of death, home state, state of birth...okay, that one for VPs will include some where I'm not entirely sure anymore...defeated major party candidates, with home states...that too may have a few gaps...defeated running mates is way too hard though...

There's a saying that no Americans remember losing VP candidates...

I remember my dad told me once that when he was working with a group of inernational economists, he said that and the American of the group was deeply offended, stating that there were lots of educated peolpe who did (he was an economist)...after which my dad asked him to name the most recent one - Nixon's running mate of 1960...which caused the guy to leave the discussion and hid lunch and sit in a corner for half an hour before shouting 'Cabot Lodge' all in a sudden, startling everyone... Smiley

what do you mean by losiong VP candidates, ones who lost their home state???

and that is correct dazzleman Wink

I mean guys who ran for the VP-spot but didn't get it...or running mates to losing presidential candidates, if you like that better...such as Lieberman, Kemp, Quayle, Bentsen, Fitzgerald, Mondale, Dole, Shriver, Muskie...Goldwater's running mate...well I managed a few at least...I could name moore from older days, of course.

Clinton? i don't think so


as for the Bushes, no they are not. here's qoute from 'americanpresidency':

"George Bush has also sometimes been referred to as Mason. But, neither he nor his son, George W. Bush, are Freemasons. The confusion as to President Bush arises from the swearing in ceremonies at his inauguration. He took the oath of office on the George Washington Bible which belongs to St. Johns Lodge in New York City. Because the Bible belonged to a Masonic Lodge many writers assumed he was a Freemason".
