without a doubt LaFollette. It's a great thing he ran too since this is quite possibly the worst choice of major party candidates ever. Coolidge was an archconservative fool who had no clue how to govern and caused the Great Depression, while Davis was a segregationist puppet of the Dixiecrat machine. Bleh.

It was a hard decision for me. Coolidge, in my opinion, was a good if not great President, but I really like LaFollette. I chose him after a few seconds of agonizing deliberation:)

Well, they were both Republicans after all...
And while Coolidge's economic notions were tragically misguided, he doesn't sound like a bad man personally...and at least, unlike most Republicans of his day, he was an internationalist.

Perhaps LaFollette? Though I don't know much about him, really. I'm just certain I would NOT have voted for Davis.

Davis, in the last election I'd vote for a Democrat.

I would vote for Coolidge but wouldn't mind seeing Davis win.

PS: Can anyone say for sure what Davis's home state was? This site and many official secondary sources say West Virginia, but a few secondary sources plus the one primary source I've found claim New York

He represented West Virginia in the House of Representatives from 1911-1913. His father, Henry G. Parker, was Alton Parker's running mate in 1904.

Seeing as Coolidge would win no matter what, I would've voted for LaFollette, based on his excellent Senate career.

He would have died in office though. He died of an asthma attack in 1925. His replacement would have been the Democrat in Socialist clothing Senator Burton K. Wheeler.
