This week’s puzzle may be tougher.

Show/Hide This Week's ScuttleButton Answer
Arch Moore Governor — A West Virginia Republican, he was elected in 1968 and ’72. He returned for a third term in 1984.
The Duke Makes Me Puke! — A button not exactly supportive of Michael Dukakis, the 1988 Democratic presidential nominee.
It’s Sinatra’s World (photo) We Just Live In It — A non-political button for Francis (“Frank”) Albert Sinatra.
Loyalists for Marcos — Ferdinand Marcos was the authoritarian president of the Philippines until his ouster in 1986.
So, when you add Arch + Duke + Francis + Ferdinand, you might very well wind up with …
Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Some guy who was killed and whose death started off some war. It was a long time ago.
Congratulations to Earl Hunt of Austin, Texas, the randomly-selected winner. Earl gets the coveted Political Junkie button.
