Show/Hide This Week's ScuttleButton Answer
Matus Matters — Have no idea who this button is for. Anyone know?
Reagan/California’s Favorite Son — 1968 Republican presidential hopeful.
Throw the Bum Out/Organize to Fight! — Anti-Nixon button, circa 1973-74.
Roosevelt Garner — The successful Democratic presidential ticket in 1932 and 1936.
So, when you combine Matus + Son (or sun) + Bum + Garner, you may wind up with …
Madison Bumgarner. The San Francisco Giants pitcher and the 2014 World Series most valuable player.
And the randomly selected winner is … Paul Hughes of Sacramento, Calif. He is this week’s ScuttleButton most valuable player. And he gets the Political Junkie button.
