14. How can you say that about Robb?

Just kidding, Robb! (I think he's still a mod.)

I've heard the matriculated/thespian story variously attributed to Lyndon Johnson and Huey Long. There weren't any Republicans in the South prior to 1970 (apart from good ol' Strom of course). The folks at the Snopes board say that though it was famously attributed to a guy named Smathers in a primary race against Claude Pepper in 1950, Smathers never actually said that stuff: http://msgboard.snopes.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=101;t=000379;p=0
