1848: Clay vs. Clay vs. Clay

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

Hoping to rebound after his narrow loss four years ago, Henry Clay is again nominated by the Whig Party for the Presidency in 1848. However, he is not alone in his quest, even among members of his own family. The Democrats, appeasing the Deep South and hoping to use the Clay name to their advantage, have nominated former Alabama Governor and Senator Clement Comer Clay. However, Clay's appeal is not only to Southrons as he has a record of supporting Catholics and demanding accountability from the Bank of the State of Alabama. Meanwhile, the Liberty Party nominates one of their most badass abolitionists, publisher and former Member of the Kentucky House of Representatives Cassius M. Clay of Kentucky for President. Clay has more than once defended his own life with a Bowie Knife and has had to protect himself using a cannon. Combine that with a record of service to one's country in the Mexican-American War and you have quite a candidate. Which of the Clays does America choose? By what margin? What does the map look like? And who would you vote for?

Also, you choose the running mates.

I think I will pick Clay!
