It was the senators. That was the question Mark Dixon missed at the $64K level on 8/26/1999 Regis BAM. Mark Dixon beat eight others and Zach Horan in the 8/25/1999 fastest finger.

I remembered the question (as I recall, the answer was McCain), but not that a BB was the Hot Seater who missed it. --Bob
