Hoover was saddly doomed in 1932, unless the Bonus Army did not occur.
oh come on. it's not like the Great Depression had anything to do with it.
The south voted for Smith in 1928 in spite of his Catholicism, so I don't see why they wouldn't again.
Hoover won such states as Texas, Virginia, North Carolina, Florida, Kentucky, and Tennessee in 1928. All of those states but Kentucky were former Confederate States. The ststes that did go to Smith were super partisan Democratic states like South Carolina.
1928 was the only time (not counting reconstruction) that Virginia voted for a Republican until 1952.
