Yes! Lodge, Wood, Ford, and FDR all in the new Taft cabinet!

Hmmm... As I've said before in a different thread, however, this does seem to strikingly resemble something I've been working on...

Well remember to comment on it the few times I update, & please continue.

Will Hoover be governing more as a moderate as opposed to the LaFollette years?

Will Hoover be governing more as a moderate as opposed to the LaFollette years?

I think Dems and Conservatives will unite and Hoover will be forced to govern from the center

Well, IMO, he wouldn't be a straight up Prog in the first place. Business friendly, but also very much in support of publilc works programs, and on social issues, he'd probably be pro-civil rights and in support of prohibition (whatever became of that?). Placing Hoover ideologically is a difficult task. Someone said "He was a Progressive in Harding and Coolidge's time, a moderate in his own time, and a Conservative in FDR's time", showing how much the world changed around him. In 1920 he was a Progressive Republican businessman but in 1940 he was one of the leaders of the Conservatives in his party.

Good job so far.

Never Gonna Say Goodbye: First Term of Robert Taft

Nice.

Why would Taft, an isolationist until Pearl Harbor, launch us into WWII before such an attack? Also, would he have flouridation of water? From what I remember, there were some folks of the fringe element sort who believed it a commie conspiracy.

Also, keep the focus on what the president & congress are doing. A number of events here seem to be taken out if real life.
