This is an inherently absurd chart.

(Also, Fairbanks was VP candidate in both 1904 and 1916, way to go Fivethirtyeight)

EDIT:  Would someone with a NYT login please go correct Nate Silver on the Fairbanks thing?  It's bugging me.

The Dims like to pretend he was a republican.

Also, no Palin?

In what universe was Henry Wallace a Republican?  He was so left-wing people thought he was a dupe of Moscow.

I thought Wallace started out as a Republican, but then switched to the Democrats after the New Deal.

Yeah, but he was a Democrat for his entire political career, though (became a Dem in 1933).
