Given his advanced age and abysmal choice of running mate, I could see more than a few undecided voters shying away from the GOP in OTL 2008 for fear of getting more than they bargained for, so to speak.

Actually the President before 1928 was Burton Kendall Wheeler. La Follette died in office.
Ah, good catch. Forgot about that. Thanks.

Congrats to Rufus King for winning the 1816 election over OTL winner James Monroe. And congrats to Al Smith for his victory in the 1928 election, defeating Herbert Hoover, the electee of OTL that year. The prosperity of the 1920s is sure to continue while Smith is in office.
The 1820 and 1932 Retrospective US Presidential Elections are now up, so get voting!

As mentioned by Plumber on the 1932 topic, Lyndon LaRouche should be on the ballot in 1976 when we get to that.
Edit: Errrr... Wrong topic I suppose.
1976 will indeed have the most candidates of any retrospective election here, but there will be only nine, not ten. Lyndon LaRouche received 40,018 votes out of a total of 81,531,584 votes. This is 0.049%, so he falls just short of the cutoff.
Oh, put him in anyway, its ridiculous, just to omit someone just one hundredth percent short.

Without rules only madness would ensue! Where would we draw the line? .001%? .002%? .5%?!! All would descend into darkness and chaos!
Well, I personally think that if the number can be rounded up to 0.05% then they should go in.
Yeah, FDR has a lot of things going for him on AH.com. First, he was President when the Depression ended, secondly he was a Roosevelt, and thus related to a badass, and thirdly, he was a badass himself.
I meant in the timeline that would probably result from electing Smith in 1928.
