Here's a SDWC salute for giving it a shot
Here's a trivia contest for you. The scrolling banner has been completely taken over by former candidates for South Dakota's seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Can you name all of them who hover above? AND what year their attempt(s) for the seat failed? Not all of them went to a primary or general election, but they were all officially off and running.
Your prize for successful identification? You will win your choice of one of the political pins pictured below. They also represent a bunch of candidates who gave it the good old college try for electoral office. (there's even a couple of hints in there for the pictures scrolling above).
Got your guesses? E-mail me with your answers. The first one who has it right wins. Remember - Politician, and the year(s) they weren't able to grab the brass congressional ring.

I found that Explorer shows a different set of scrolling faces than Netscape does.
I'll send a newer photo.
What can you do about the difference between what Netscape and Explorer show?

The FBI and the Post Office should use the scrolling faces for their most wanted. Nice contrast to some of the least wanted.
More seriously, give 'em all a hat tip for taking a shot at it...or a kick in the rear for being arrogant enough to think they should take a shot at it anyway.
Don't know what this means, but Blogger pucked out "osgop" for the word verification.
