Presidents-Trivia and More

• ​Historical Rankings of Presidents of the United States- I really like this page because it gives an aggregate for surveys over time.  It also compares conservative and liberal rankings which helps to account for bias. 
• Living Room Candidate- Every campaign commercial from 1952 to the present.  Requires Flash.
• How Smart are the Presidents? Gives rankings (both in intelligence and chronological order) of presidents including an explanation of how they came up with their findings.
• A bit of nonsense- "Presidents of the United States when they were young and hunky",  Getting the Presidential Look,  Words and Phrases Popularized by Presidents
