What were the best Presidential campaigns for competitiveness, excitement, and quality of the candidates? This includes conventions and primaries
My votes are for:
1.) 1912 Wilson, Roosevelt, and Taft
2.) 1800 Jefferson, Adams, Burr, and Jay
3.) 1844 Polk and Clay
4.) 1948 Truman and Dewey
5.) 1884 Cleveland and Blaine
I'd like to include 1976 for its competitiveness, and the role of Reagan in the Republican platform, but the quality of candidates Ford and Carter just doesn't match up with the best campaigns. Several campaigns with great candidates were not competitive.
