Whether 1920 was a GOP year or not...epic McAdoo landslide. Not only was Rankin female, but she also had highly unpopular views. Calling her a pacifist is an understatement; in 1941, she was the only member of the House of Representatives to vote against Roosevelt's declaration of war!

Rankin was a very outspoken pacifist, and that can easily be turned into 'unwilling to defend the nation'. Perceptions of women at the time back this up.

Epic McAdoo landslide.
