Wilson was terrible at reaching out over the aisle when it came to the League of Nations. Republiucans (most of them) were under command of Senator Henry Cabot Lodge. Wilson never compromised well, so he decalred war on Lodge. In 1916 Republicans took Congress and in 1918 they expanded their lead in Congress.

In Wilson's first term Democrats controlled the Congress so he got a lot passed in his first 3 years. These included beautufucation bills, the Income Tax Amendment, civil service reform, and tariff reduction.

well then, according to the parallel we should win in a landslide in 2008 Smiley

That might happen if Bush get's into a problem as big as WWI and the "League of Nations."

No, you're right, most of the fight was between Wilson and Lodge.

Yes, 2 old stubborn men. Smiley
