Who would you have voted for?

[opebo]

The answer to this question seems pretty obvious - I would've voted for the Republican in any election, at any time, for president or whatever office.  I don't really 'get' ticket splitting.

They supported the war but thought that Lincoln was mismanaging it.
And opposed the excesses of Sherman et al.

Well, who wouldn't be opposed to George "burn 'em all" Sherman?

Shermans win wars.  He's a type of general that is necessary - like Curtis LeMay in WWII and the cold war.  Doesn't make a popular politician after retirement though.

I don't know if they're really that necessary. Curtis LeMay was Wallace's insane running mate in 1968, wasn't he?

Yes!  I would have voted for him anytime, but of course most people would not.

I meant LeMay.  I don't know about his claims about nuclear testing, but he was quite a hawk, and I like that.

GOP every time.
