Washington surprises me. Who was the nominee from Oregon?
Charles L. McNary
He was Wendell Wilkie's running mate
Wyoming? Alabama? North Carolina?
Dick Cheney was Wyoming.
William R King, Vice President to Franklin Pierce, had a lengthy career as Alabama's Senator. He died shortly after the election. He may be best known for his close relationship with James Buchanan, and for his Inauguration occurring on foreign soil (He was in Cuba for his health.)
William Graham, the Whig VP nominee in 1852, had been Senator and Governor of North Carolina, as well as Secretary of the Navy.
