1912: Theodore Roosevelt (R) vs. Champ Clark (D)

[Robespierre's Jaw]

How would the 1912 Presidential Election have turned out if these were the tickets?

Republican

President: Former President Theodore Roosevelt of New York
Vice President: Senator Robert La Follette of Wisconsin

Democratic

President: Speaker of the House Champ Clark of Missouri
Vice President: Governor Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey

How would this election have turned out? Discuss with maps.

NOTE: President William Howard Taft declines to run for the 1912 Republican Nomination and thus former President Teddy Roosevelt has a clear path to the nomination. Backers of Taft urge him to run as an Independent however he declines and retires from public life.

Roosevelt landslide. Clark was not as good a campaigner as Wilson and would only win the solid south plus Maryland and Missouri(Border states)

[True Democrat]

It's unlikely that LaFollette would have agreed to run with TR, as LaFollette really detested him.

Did he really? It's true you learn something new every day . Okay, let's say the Republican ticket is that of Theodore Roosevelt and Hiram Johnson (the RL Progressive ticket). However it wouldn't change anything because it would have been a Roosevelt landslide.

Theodore Roosevelt/Hiram Johnson (R): 348 Electoral Votes
Champ Clark/Woodrow Wilson (D): 183 Electoral Votes

The Million Dollar question is who would be the Democrats nominee in 1916, especially if President Roosevelt decided to run for a fourth term (non consecutive).
