That one would have gotten me. Would have had all lifelines but would have had to use them and wouldn't have had much trust in the ATA even if it was 90%. Maybe a Google PAF could have pulled it out.

If had to make a 1 in 4 guess I probably would have said A as well since it seemed like the goofy kind of thing that goofy old Kucinich would tout.

[7yrscollegedownthedrain]

would've helped tp know Richardson is former ambassador to the U.N.

[Ritterskoop]

He was nominated Nov. 15, 2007 which gets him up to five nominations, according to that site.

WE®

$16K: Either Miller or O'Neill. ATA.

ATA - A-30% B-41% C-22% D-7%

*sigh* Not promising, but I'll go along with O'Neill anyway.

$25K: Knew this before the choices came up. Richardson was a former U.N. ambassador.

[peacock2121]

I was walking through the house while this was on. Not until after the commercial break did I hear Poughkeepsie. He was no where to be found in the local paper - so I pretty much figured he would walk with his 16K.

oops

He didn't.

Wonder if I can find him around town.

We could form a club.

By the way, Poughtown is not WE land.

No? The TV signals are stronger from Albany than from NYC?

Pretty sure he's a WE®.

I'm a little surprised that the audience didn't give Ryan a stronger affirmation of the right answer.

50/50

He has a hunch on D, but the 50/50 leaves A and C.

He guessed A and left with $1000.

I'd have gone with A without hesitation and been wrong, leaving all my lifelines on the table. My reasoning is that Kucinich has been a proponent of creating a "Department of Peace" as a Cabinet-level position, and has been opposed to the war in Iraq. He's also seen by many as a left-wing nut, and the type who might post something like that, true or not.

Probably the same - although rabbit ears would bring in Albany better than NYC.

[peacock2121]

Also - takes less time to get to Albany than NYC.
