This thread is just too cool!   I'm glad I found this forum.

W. J. Bryan answer to a great trivia question--who had most E.V.s without winning.

Of course. They are Elector's votes, aren't they?

One of us miscounted on Grover Cleveland...Me in all likelihood...at least the others are all correct.

Just checking.

It's unfair to include FDR without an asterisk mentioning that he held the office at least twice more than anyone else, in complete violation of American custom.

I'm glad he violated American custom.

[freedomburns]

Looks like FDR was the man.  (and he was)

Arguably the best president ever.  The only others that the historians have in contention are Lincoln and Washington.

I'm glad that he ran for President for a fourth time knowing he was ill.

Well he held Pres. or Vp office four times, just as often as Nixon. No need for any asterisks. He ran five times, again as often as Nixon.

But Nixon was not ill when he ran for President. Roosavelt knew that there was a good possibility he would not survive through his fourth term, but ran anyway.

Well that's a different point altogether and does not belong in this thread. Although, speaking of "Nixon" and "ill"...I'll keep my judgement to myself.

He never forced anybody to vote for him, you know.
