I would have included 1924 by now. It took over 100 ballots to choose Ambasador John Davis of West Virginia, and he was crushed. His running mate was William J. Bryan's brother, Charles Bryan.

He won his home state of Maryland.

Fillmore was from New York, not Maryland. He won Maryland  due to it's strong anti-Catholicsm block.

To everyone's immense relief Harrison made it through the first month of his administration without suffering the fate of his grandfather.

I toured the Harrison homestead in VA in May. They comment that whereas the first Pres. Harrison gave the longest inaugural speech and contracted pneumonia, the second Pres. Harrison intentionally gave the shortest Inaugural address. No way would he suffer his grandfather's fate.

Ben Harrison gave a short address, but Washington's second inauguralw as the shortest, being only 135 words and lasting only 3 minutes and 50 seconds!

Don't forget Carter's "Playboy" interview and Ford's "No Soviet domination in Eastern Europe" gaffe. Waht an election in 1976!
