One of my favorite bits of trivia points to the bigger picture: "From which age group did Bill Clinton win the highest percentage of votes in 1992?" Seniors.
He remade the city's front yard with Millennium Park, and showcased the city with a victory celebration after helping a Chicagoan win the highest office in the land.
Sharpshooter Xu Haifeng won a gold medal in the men's 50-metre pistol event and became the first Chinese in Olympic history to win the highest honour.
Those polls show that while he would win the highest number of votes against a field of candidates, he could easily lose, too, because opposition voters could coalesce around one candidate, as has happened in previous elections.
The Republicans now vying for next year's nomination are trying to win the highest office of all by frantically competing as to which can offer the most ardent support for Israel.
And while I think the QCA have tried really hard to be robust and independent, I just think that, as we've seen in other areas of public policy, if you have one organisation with different functions that look like they conflict you aren't going to win the highest level of public confidence".
