Holiday Party

On Monday evening we went to a party with about thirty friends.  As part of the evening’s entertainment, I gave the party goers a quiz..  (I can’t help myself--it’s in my DNA.)

Here are just two of the questions:
Of the following, which group has given the most money to Hillary Clinton’s campaigns:
A.  IBEW.
B.  the Sierra Club.
C.  Goldman Sachs.
D.  the Koch Brothers.

Which of the following employs the most U.S. workers:
A.  typesetting.
B.  solar power.
C.  coal mining.
D.  canal boat maintenance.

An opinion question at the end asked whom the guests would like to see as the Democratic presidential nominee in 2016.  Elizabeth Warren came in first, followed by Hillary Clinton, followed by Bernie Sanders.  Jim Webb and Joe Biden received one vote each.  


Incidentally the answers to the questions above are C, Goldman Sachs, and B, solar power.

  1. How close was Sanders to Clinton?

  2. I think Clinton had five and Sanders three. Warren was way ahead. Keep in mind that we have some rather liberal friends.
