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?

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?

So you'd vote for Perot in 1992?

Actually, yes, depending on who is running, and possibly Gary Johnson in 2012 for the same reason.

FDR winning four elections in a row, just like in real life, is boring and I will do my best to ensure that doesn't happen.

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

Cath should remove his vote to determine the winner, unless he voted for Coolidge.

That's what he's done in the past.

If he voted for Coolidge, then... coin flip?

IMO, if Cath voted for Coolidge it would make the most sense to have Smith win. Say it was so close that there was no majority and it went to the house where Republicans backed Smith as the lesser of two evils.

With apparently no evidence of direct fraud and so on and so forth, 'twould seem Mr. Thomas has won. I'll put up the recalculated results in a few minutes.
