Despite the BMP's strong showing in the congressional elections, the House vote occurred before their swearing-in, and La Follette was forced to graciously bow out and throw his support behind Underwood. His running mate, Hiram Johnson, had rather more success as the Farmers-Laborers and Bull-Meese united behind him (Oscar Underwood even cast the first vote for him in the election) to stop a Union-Populist united front. Now the House vote is down to two - just like the good old days! - with rising star Oscar Underwood squaring off against that old enemy Henry Cabot Lodge, who would rather not like to join Henry Adams in the "Two-Time Failures Named Henry Club". I assume you folks know their positions, so you've got three days to decide the fate of the nation for centuries to come at least four years.

Lodge.

I wonder how much backlash there would be from the public with the victor being the guy who came in third in the popular vote.
