Bruce, love this, but I think you need to edit the three timers graphic - according to my history books Jefferson first ran (and lost) in 1796, and won in 1800 :)

I supposed you could also say FDR ran for President three cycles in a row twice, once starting in 1932 and again starting in 1936.

The superbowl winning QB thing is interesting - I'm waiting for it to show up in a conspiracy theory. Seeing Hoover and Carter there makes me wonder if one term presidents who graduated from colleges with Superbowl winning quarterbacks also live unusually long lives for their birth year/era.
