[edit] Electoral picture peculiarity
Why is the graphic depiction of electoral votes skewed? Rarely nowadays does one see democratic votes colored red and and republican votes blue. --maru (talk) Contribs 20:52, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

I didn't think that Eisenhower was from Pennsylvania, I read the article on Eisenhower and there is no real connection to PA., and I was under the general impression that the only U.S. president from PA. was Buchannan. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.203.109.18 (talk) 05:29, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
Eisenhower was born in Texas and raised in Kansas, but of course during his Army career he had lived in several different states. After the Second World War he had been the President of Columbia University in New York City, and I assume that New York was listed as his "native" state. However, in the early fifties he also bought a farm in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, close to the Civil War battlefield, and I imagine that is where the Pennsylvania reference comes from. Honestly, I think it would be hard to list an exact "home state" for Eisenhower, given all of the places he had lived in. During his post-Presidential years he lived at the Gettysburg farm.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Time-magazine-cover-robert-johns-bulkley.jpg
Image:Time-magazine-cover-robert-johns-bulkley.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
