Also why in the world would a 3-term President want to become Vice-President?

It is a strong ticket, I just don't see Cleveland wanting the job. Do you think FDR would have wanted to become Vice-President in 1944?

This should be a close election, but I have a feeling that Vilas and McKinley will split vote on the right.

There was quite literally absolutely no opposition to both McKinley and Roosevelt in their own party. The one delegate to vote differently, the one to not make TR's nomination unanimous was his own, which was cast uncommitted. So you're stuck with a McKinley/Roosevelt ticket.

We can't get Roosevelt/McKinley?!? Wink
