Just imagine William J. Bryan with his character, his views and his convinctions running for President in 2008. Would you vote for him?
On which issues he would campaign?
Would he be a Democrat or a Republican?
Would he win? Would the map look like 1896 or way different?
Economically. probably still Democrat. Socially, likely Republican.
Oh yeah, and I'd never vote for an anti-evolutionist.
The chief reason why Bryan was "anti-evolutionist" was that he equated evolutionary darwinism with social darwinism.
