Hello all and welcome back to Trivia Tuesday. After all that traveling the last two weeks, Trivia Tuesday is back to our regular potpourri of political trivia questions.

But before we dive right in, a plug, once again for two events I'm involved with this week - Save the Ales tomorrow night at the Skylark Lounge in Denver and the Democrats Work forest restoration project this Saturday in Boulder County. Hope to see you at either of these events!

bco gal :: Trivia Tuesday
Okay, rules as always. No looking up your answers on the internet and you can submit your own questions below. Good luck!

#1 - Who was only 30 when he won his Senate seat in 1962?

#2 - How many department are there in the Colorado executive branch?

#3 - On October 24, 1859, voters approved the formation of a territory, which was superseded by the Territory of Colorado in 1861. What was the name of that original territory?

#4 - In what year was this campaign slogan used: "In Hoover we Trusted, Now We're Busted"?

#5 - Who was the last person to receive a state's general election electoral votes while not running as a Democrat or as a Republican?

#6 - What party was created in 1874 by impoverished farmers to encourage the use of paper currency? (Hint, think of a nickname for money.)

We're going to have 6 kegs of beer.  Special thanks go to bcogal in securing most of this beer and a whole bunch of other organizing help.  I couldn't have done it without her.  

Today I got an email from Odell brewery in Fort Collins wanting to get involved in the next event.

You are correct sir! (0.00 / 0)
And originally the state was proposed to be the "State of Jefferson" but was defeated by the voters before they voted to approve the "Territory of Jefferson".

[ Parent ]
Ted Kennedy (4.00 / 3)

#2 partial (0.00 / 0)
I don't recall how many. I can only name four departments this morning.   Local Affairs; Revenue; Nat. Resources; Health. Maybe this will help someone else with the correct answer.
