1932 in a walk.

Yeah, how can anybody not say this? Our entire country - for better or for worse - has been FDR's baby since the '30s.

1936 rather than 1932 was the defining election. Given the depths of the depression, FDR's landslide in 1932 was not a portent of a permanent change. 1936 was.

Meh, I guess I could see that argument, but 1932 started it all. Tons of states that had voted solidly for three straight Republican tickets fundamentally rejected the party. I'd say 1936 was the exclamation point after the statement.
