Show/Hide This Week's ScuttleButton Answer
President Eisenhower — A Republican, he was re-elected in 1956.
Cantina Mexican Food — A New York restaurant on the Upper East Side.
Elect Turner to Congress — This may be for Edward Turner, a Maryland Democrat who lost a 1954 congressional bid. Does anyone know for sure?
So, when you combine Eisenhower + Cantina + Turner, you kinda get…
Ike and Tina Turner. The then-married rhythm and blues group from the 1960s and ’70s.
And the randomly-selected winner is … Jim Newman, from St. Charles, Ill.
And what’s a ScuttleButton puzzle without a little Tina Turner?
