Smith was an awful dude.  just that the bigots treated him unfairly doesn't make him a good guy.

Yes, but Prohibition was basically unenforceable without he Volstad Act.

One of America’s greatest “failed” presidents, Herbert Hoover. I do believe if he had been elected at any other time he would have been a great one.

That being said, I really like Al Smith as well, especially his later shift to the right in the 30’s and 40’s.

Hoover. 

An extremely capable President who had the misfortune to be elected President at about the worst possible time.
