If you could change the winner of an election...

The 2 major ones...

- 1976 to Ford
- 1960 to Nixon

True, but who knows...maybe Dole wouldn't have run. None of us know for sure. By the way, Wakie, you wanted Al Smith to win in 1928 and I'm guessing you would have liked to see him re-elected. Well chances are if that did happen, the Dems wouldn't have their beloved FDR. I can live with that, but can you?

I would want Hoover to run in 1920, not Harding.

Hoover would have lost in 1920.  Harding won on his charisma.

Hoover was the most popular man in America in 1920. Both parties wanted to nominate him.

There was a plan for a Democratic team of Herbert Hoover and Franklin Roosevelt.

You know too much, PBrunsel. Seriously...I'm a political junkie and never knew that. I was wondering...what got you so interested in President Hoover?

[Keystone Phil]

I got interested in Hoover in 5th grade when I visited hsi presidential library in West Branch, Iowa.

Another reason is that he is vilified by the left, so I wanted to know a lot about him to disarm their arguments.

Seriously, Herbert Hoover is a better person than John Kerry or Hillary Clinton who constantly attack him.

I'll be honest...I always put him in the worst President's column with Harding and Buchanan.

That's your choice. If I enter politcs and go to Congress, I will introduce a bill making a Herbert Hoover Memorial in Washington, D.C.

The only thing I knew about him was the Great Depression and record job loss. Never looked at anything else, really. Perhaps I should read up on him since he might not be that bad.

I've never heard Kerry or Clinton attack him.

Kerry attacked him a lot. Comparing Bush to Hoover when it came to job loss.
