introduce it incorrectly (Taiwan/China). I am sure the answer is here somewhere amongst the "Millard Fillmore vs. Chester A. Arthur in the primary, who would you support?" threads.

1. Per Kitty Pilgrim on Lou Dobbs, the music was also wrong.

Idiots!

3. That would be a disaster. I hope they just announced it wrong

4. MIHOP. IMHO. n/t

[electropop]

2. Chester Arthur '96!

Well, I mean, not since Nixon was in office.
