Extreme Trivia #52

First, last week’s answer — Sen. James Buckley — and the winning questions:
- Richarda: Who was the only person elected to the U.S. Senate (1970) in the second half of the 20th Century as a third-party (NOT independant)) candidate?
- Lee Annis: Name the only senator ever elected from the Conservative party and the only former senator now sitting on the federal bench.
- James Young: Name the United States Senator who unsuccessfully challenged Congress’ partial repeal of the First Amendment through the guise of campaign finance “reform.”
- Peter Roff: Name the retired jurist who got his start in politics only after his journalist-brother dragooned him into managing an ill-fated New York City mayoral campaign?
- Quin: Who, in retrospect, would have been a better appointment to the Supreme Court (despite then being 64) in 1987 than Anthony Kennedy was?
Good questions all. But I was looking for one more: Name one of only three people who ran for U.S. Senate from more than one state.
Now, this week’s Extreme Trivia answer: Sen. Howell Heflin. What’s the question?
