Trivia questions needed for my Election Night party
I will be holding a trivia contest for attendees (prize is a signed copy of "What a Party" by Terry McAuliffe), and need multiple-choice questions relating to presidential campaign events (people will be using my Palm Beach voting machine to mark their answers). Any clever suggestions?

1. This has to be Randi Rhodes. LOL
She is always talking about her personal Palm Beach voting machine, was born in Brooklyn and is friends with Terry. Randi come clean.

2. "Name the last time the Republican Party Won Without a Bush or Nixon on the Ticket?"
The answer is 1928.

Blows everyone's minds when I tell them that.
