Technically Taft if you consider the votes...but point taken.
It's amazing our system allows big egos to thwart democracy.

Yeah, but Roosevelt was the one who started his own political party to run against the person he had previously HAND CHOSEN to follow him in office.

Taft was the one who stayed in and ran as Republican.

And thus Woodrow Wilson was elected.

I wonder what woulda been had he won the election.

"Republican" is just one groups word for conservative. The conservatives won the election handily; the country wanted conservative leadership. And yet they split and punted the game to the Libs.

Sad state. The best money spent in an election campaign is to fund 2 opponents.

I said the same thing to a customer at work today during my break when the news announced Perot's passing.
