If Smith wins, we can have 3 terms of FDR. If Thomas wins, we can have 2 terms of Thomas and 2 terms of FDR.

Better still we could reelect Smith, have three terms of FDR, and have a strong economy (as opposed to one on life support).

Not sure how the '29 recession constitutes a strong economy...

You mean the Debs-Stedman recession that was ended by Smith?

The one created by selfish businessmen sabotaging the economy? The selfish businessmen that support Smith?

Actually I'm pretty sure that crowd is solidly in Coolidge's corner this time.  There support for Smith in 1928 was likely more of an "enemy of my enemy" thing given the sad state of the Hoover campaign.  By the way, let's not forget that some of the Socialists actively worked with the corporate elites to prevent the more liberal FDR from winning the Democratic nomination.  Apparently some Socialists are only friends of the worker when it helps their party's candidate Wink

By "some Socialists" do you mean "Seatown"? He's only one Socialist. I personally would happily vote for four terms of FDR and I did, in fact. And the Coolidge campaign is in a sad state as well, are the businessmen not all supporting Smith still?

Lief, Sewersocialist, and Snowstalker, for starters...

If voting for entertainment and interesting results is wrong, I don't want to be right.

So you'd vote for Perot in 1992?

I have no problem with folks voting on whatever criteria they want as long as it isn't to sabotage a party's chances or anything like that Smiley

Maybe FDR can finally save America from the red menace!
