Very interesting election. A split in the republican party manages to give Wilson a big victory. Its also the election where a far left candidate got more % of the vote than any other election, including 16% in Oklahoma and second place in Florida. Anyway, I'll chose the least bad candidate, Taft.

Ideologically speaking, they are all dreadful. Taft seems the least awful, if only due to having a preferable temperament for the office, unlike his dictatorial opponents.

I'll probably mindlessly toe the party line and vote Taft, but Roosevelt could easily get my vote.  I wouldn't vote for Wilson with a gun to my head...

likely Taft, though w/o hindsight I'd consider a vote for Wilson, especially as being preferable to TR.

I will have the results of this poll on hand next time someone claims that the Atlas Forum is left wing.

Wow, over 70% Republican? How weird. It's like when California voted 61% Republican in the 2003 governor election (replacement ballot for recall).

Most of Atlas is under the very misguided impression that Teddy Roosevelt was some kind of leftist.

I gave a pity vote for Wilson, so he'll at least beat the Prohibitionists.

I'd kill to have a party with this platform win electoral votes and 27% PV, but whatever floats your boat...
