Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who is young Lauren watching make a speech in the first scene?

Answer: Richard Nixon

She tells her mom that she's going to the White House, and that if someone like Nixon can get there, anyone can.

2. Why was Sen. Gable going jogging in Los Angeles?

Answer: to prove he was fit

His wife Meg made a big deal of mentioning his bypass to the press, so he had to go running to prove he was still in good shape.

3. What is NOT one of the things Jenny Pryce (Nancy Travis) mentions about herself that would be public knowledge because of her position as a politician's wife?

Answer: she's never smoked pot

What is a non-aerosol breath saver, anyway? She went into this rant after Lauren used her daughter for campaign advantage. She accepted her own situation, but didn't want her daughter to be forced into the public eye.

4. At the Women for an Equal America luncheon, when the woman tells Lauren (Laura Linney) that she's not one of them, what is her response?

Answer: I have a uterus. Doesn't that count?

The woman at the luncheon was suggesting that Lauren had joined forces with the men and forgotten her own gender's concerns.

5. According to Shawna (Teri Hatcher), what was wrong with Madonna that made her an inappropriate choice for musical guest at the convention?

Answer: She's too old and doesn't wear clothes.

Shawna also nixed The Backstreet Boys, because their fans aren't even old enough to vote.

6. Where were they when Lauren told Sen. Randall that she thought he could make more of a difference from the inside?

Answer: men's room

As she was leaving, he stopped her to tell her he liked her style.

7. What event took place in Los Angeles that Pryce (Tom Selleck) made an appearance at against his advisor's urging?

Answer: abortion clinic bombing

It ended up getting him a meeting with Sen. Randall because it showed guts.

8. What did Katie (the youngest delegate) buy when she was out shopping?

Answer: a tattoo

She was a very odd young woman...

9. When the four women are in Shawna's bathroom discussing their past involvements with Pryce, who said she had had better?

Answer: Lauren

She didn't elaborate on who it was, though. I found it very odd that all of a sudden these four women were the best of friends and could sit around in a bathroom together having soulful discussion.

10. Who did Pryce select as a running mate?

Answer: Sen. Randall

This was a bit of a surprise all around, probably because the writers failed to set it up. Or maybe the director just cut too much out. Who knows...
