What if 1920 would have been like 1912: Teddy Roosevelt runs for and loses the Republican nomination and then enters the campaign as the Progressive's candidate while Harding is Republican nominee. The Democratic ticket remains the same.

It would be the first time a zombie ran for president.

Well, I believe that you should have clarified that.

Roosevelt would have split the vote, Cox would have won.

I disagree, Roosevelt was a consistant hawk and in the post war period Harding's message resonated with the nation. Harding wouldn't have got an historic landslide, or even a majority (as opposed to a plurality) but victory is probable for him.

Harding barely wins, Teddy spoils a lot of Harding's lead, but the anti-Wilsonian sentiment still pulls through.

Probably:



Harding/Coolidge 290 EV, 47%
Cox/Underwood: 204 EV, 37%
Roosevelt/H. Johnson: 44 EV, 16%
