Fun stuff, Politics

Friday fun: political scandals

In the latest edition of Larry Sabato’s Crystal Ball, writer Brendan Nyhan says that President Obama is due for a scandal:

…the first Obama scandal is likely to arrive sooner than most people think.

Whether or not it happens, we’ve already experienced a number of political scandals. Can you name the parties involved in these 20? I got 19 out of 20 with 3:28 remaining. Share your results in the comments below. Yes, one of them involves Richard Nixon.

The one I missed? Couldn’t spell the guy’s name :(

About Vivian J. Paige

A former candidate, I've learned a lot about politics, both good and bad. I'd prefer more of the former and a lot less of the latter and I'm trying to do my part!

  1. I have a feeling it had to do with phonetics, am I right? (the one that’s hard to spell.)

  2. All but 4, and those are the hardest to spell, although I thought I was spelling Newt’s name correct, only it was John Edwards, not Newt!

    I was essentially done except for those 4 with a few minutes to spare.

    • Well, except for the kid, there’s not a great deal of difference between the Gingrich scandal and the Ewards scandal.

      • Scandal might be similar, but my lack of spelling ability once in a while is what got me. :)
