From Bill Kauffman's *Poetry Night at the Ballpark and Other Scenes from an Alternative America*: "Joseph Smith ran for president in 1844, at least until a mob killed him in Illinois. He was thus the first U.S. presidential candidate to be assassinated. (Those in the best position to win this toughest of all bar bets, however, are usually absent from the bar.)"
