Does anyone know if Kerry-Edwards is the first time
in US history that two candidates on the same ticket have had the same first name? I believe they are. No one seems to be mentioning it.

4. Well. I'll be!
That is too bizzare, and one of the two were also named John!

John Adams
John Quincy Adams
John Tyler
