Oh Right, it's Tuesday, Time for Trivia!

My guesses... (4.00 / 2)

1- dunno

2- Conference Committee (Udall serves on the ConfCom for Armed Services)

3- Tip!

4- Project for a New American Century (Alan Philp chair of Trailhead, Colorado for Romney, etc., used to head up an org named "Center for a New American Century", so you can get an idea where he is coming from.)

5- Dunno (but I know Prowers is almost one of them, thanks to the neon nurse)

6- Panama (He is NOT a natural born citizen of the US: Residents of Panama were naturalized after he was born. It is a Constitutional deal breaker, and I am amazed that Rove never took it to court during the Bush primaries.)

#5- Prowers is indeed close, but not quite it in that corner of the state.
#6 - yes indeed

Hmmm (4.00 / 1)

Is #1 Harry Reid?

I'm guessing as I only know he's a senator that used to box.

Oh good suggestion (0.00 / 0)

I forgot Reid was a boxer. But no, it's not him.

Barbara Boxer? It's so obvious!

Answers tucked away for just such an occasion ... (4.00 / 1)

1. This is a wild guess, but he looks like a boxer and they moved in some of the same circles back in the '80s -- Jim Webb of Virginia?

5. Moffat County in the northwest, and Four Corners is in Montezuma County.

5 (A). BONUS QUESTION since they've almost all been answered -- Which Colorado county has the most land?

5 (B) ANOTHER BONUS -- Only three states have points with higher elevations than Colorado. Which states are they? And for extra points, what are those three highest points?

5 (B) Correction to question (0.00 / 0)

Sorry, only two states have points higher than Colorado's highest elevation. A third state falls about 20 feet short. Which state is it and what's its highest point?

The two states (4.00 / 1)

Are California and Alaska (Whitney and McKinley/Denali).  I don't know what state is 20 feet short.

Illegal is never a noun

Don't you mean Pikes Peak? (4.00 / 1)

That is correct (0.00 / 0)

Denali, or Mt. McKinley, near and dear to Bob Schaffer's marriage, is the highest point. California's Mt. Whitney beats Colorado's Mt. Elbert by a mere 61 feet.

Yes and yes (4.00 / 1)

#1 - YES! It was Webb
#5 - Yes on Moffat and Montezuma

Ah, Luis beat me to 5B. As for 20 feet short, hmmm, Washington?

Oh indeed (0.00 / 0)

Yes, Mt. Rainier is almost as tall as Colorado's Mt. Elbert. Perhaps the constant dampness shrinks it a bit.

Really, it was Webb? Who won?

Boxing Match (0.00 / 0)

It was North who came out the victor. It was a championship match at Annapolis.
