Preliminaries 3

Today's Prelims:
Politicians

We're mixing it up today: TEN Politicians, but still only four advance.
(Beware, I am a Conservative Republican)

5 Modern Politicians:
- Ronald Reagan
- Newt Gingrich
- Barack Obama
- Hillary Clinton
- Richard Nixon

5 Historic Politicians:
- FDR
- Abe Lincoln
- George Washington
- Chief Justice Marshall
- Grover Cleveland

The winners are...
- Ronald Reagan:
Who doesn't love this actor-turned-politician? The GREAT COMMUNICATOR lives on as one of the most favored Presidents of all time, and the initiator of the "star wars" program. Helped end the Cold War.
- Richard Nixon:
Not all Presidents were nice people, and some were even shrewd or seen as evil. However, none were as controversial as Richard Nixon. The Watergate Scandal plagued this President and led to the first resignation, and the only one to date.
- Franklin Delano Roosevelt:
Preobably one of the greatest Presidents of all time. He led the USA through the Great Depression and through WWII. Fireside chats and a seriously public image have helped shape how the President is viewed today. He also started a strong alliance and Democratic party in hte US.
- George Washington:
The First President of America. He helped shape the Presidency in many many ways. He helped free our land from England, and didn't let the power he received get to his head. Congrats on being absolutely amazing Mr. Washington.

Well, those are the four that will move on. I hope that the next preliminaries will be even more rivetting!
