1844: James K. Polk doesn't drop out

[Blow by blow, the passion dies]

Would he win any states?

You mean John Tyler?

Nah, doesn't win any states, but might throw the election to Clay.

I meant John Tyler. LOL

I think Polk still narrowly pulls it out.

I also think if Polk reneged on his promise to not run again four years later, he would have won easily anyway.
