Might Long get more votes than Landon? Would Long win any states? Would Long be a spoiler in any states?

If Huey Long ran a third-party campaign and picked Senator for Minnesota Henrik Shipstead as his VP, he would win Louisiana and Minnesota, and perhaps North Dakota or Wisconsin depending on La Follette's stance.

Long's campaign probably would spoil Kansas and New Hampshire to Landon, with him having a low but feasible chance of carrying Massachusetts (although given the state's contemporary trends, it's pretty unlikely)
