Smith won the deep south despite his Catholicism in 1928; and if he were the nominee once more in 1932 he'd win them again.

LOL @ this map. Hoover getting 90% is SC and carrying MS, LA, FL and OK ? And why the hell would he get less than 40% in Utah and WV ?

This election has the distinction of being the first presidential election during my lifetime. So I really have no knowledge of it, but Looking back on it in history, I would have certainly supported Smith for the dem nomination.
