Have you watched beyond the first season? I know it can be cringey at first (Chris Elliott's character gets less airtime as the show progresses, which helps), but trust me when I say you should keep watching. It might be the best TV comedy of the last 15-20 years (on a par with Seinfeld and 30 Rock, imo), and it keeps getting better each season. Hint: watch with the captions on so you can catch more of the dialogue, especially Catherine O'Hara's as Moira.
I've given it at least 3 chances and watched episodes from different seasons, because I keep falling for this kind of argument that it's my fault for not sticking with something I dislike, when there are 8 million other things on television. I'll admit, I enjoyed the premise when I was 8 years old and it was called Green Acres. But that show was more sophisticated...
I have my DVDs of SCTV and A Mighty Wind to sustain me if I want a Levy-O'Hara fix...

Judges, would both parts of the runner-up party's name be required or could you call it good for just the more well known one? Spoiler
Bull Moose and Socialist was my response
That's a solid yes in my book.
Ditto. I had the same answer and am counting it correct.

I said Socialist and Progressive. Judges?
I found several sources that had "Bull Moose," "Progressive," and "Bull Moose Progressive" as synonymous. If they ever make me a judge, I'll give you credit.
I'm not the defending Jeopardy! champion. But I have played one on TV.
55 R (Terrific TV was not terrific for me. Only 1/5. Been months since Catherine O'Hara on WWTBAM.)

NHO "Lilly-Livered".
The clue reminded me of an old "Wizard of Id" comic wherein the wizard and his wife have their coach stopped by a highwayman, who points his sword at the wizard and says, "Your money or your wife!"
Wizard boots his wife out of the coach and speeds off. Robber hollers "Come back here, you wiwy-wivered wouse!"
