As someone's who is basically a liberal-Tory/conservative-Lib Dem, I'm both sad and happy at the same time.
Rise of the Progressives
inspired by lord caedus
After a lot of convincing, Senator La Follette of Wisconsin was convinced to throw his hat in the ring. To be more exact, the Republican convention. However, his progressivism hurt him with Conservative delegates, which had coalesced around Coolidge. Lowden and Wood, once the frontrunners, dropped out after realizing that the convention is going nowhere. In the end, the Conservatives won out and Coolidge became the nominee. He was paired up with Senator Warren Harding.
The Democrats, in the meantime, had a messier convention. Was it going to be Marshall? McAdoo? Smith? Wilson? Bryan? No one knew. Eventually, it was decided that a compromise candidate was needed. The notorious red-baiting attorney general, Alexander Palmer, turned out to be the compromise. Supported by Woodrow and Edith Wilson, Palmer took the nomination and made West Virginia congressman John Davis his running mate.
La Follette, disgusted with the two parties picks of “reactionaries”, formed the progressive party and had their own convention. The progressive delegates unanimously chose La Follette, but were split on a running mate. In the end, California governor Hiram Johnson became La Follette’s running mate.
Coolidge and Harding were extremely popular. “Be Cool, Vote Coolidge!” was a slogan and a popular song, which made him increase in the polls.
Coolidge won in a landslide, and his 1st term saw him implementing economic policies which is making the economy roar. As 1924 begins, Coolidge is a popular man.

And here I thought Al Franken's 2008 margin of 312 votes was as close as it could get.
Dare I ask where the Democrats (DFL, since this is Minnesota) are in this election?
Well I was going to write a paper, but this is more important. Off I go!
Also I encourage you to read mine[/Iwantmorereaders]
I am pretty inspirational, aren't I?
Just kidding, I know that this was inspired by the Progressive wikibox series I did
Lol ignore that then...
I'm confused as to how Bachmann did relatively well when it says in the description that both DFL and the Republicans were unpopular.
Can you dig that up? As someone currently under a 1920s obsession, I'd like to see it.I am pretty inspirational, aren't I?
