The Most Consequential Elections in History: Theodore Roosevelt and the Election of 1904

Teddy Roosevelt

Thanks for the info it was very helpfull, I am doing a report on him. He is one of my favorite presidents ever.

This is a wonderful series on Presidential Elections

I love to learn History in these pages of yours.

I assume that Franklin D. R. was a nephew of Teddy Roosevelt

I want to know more about Franklin Delanto Roosevelt and his Presidential Elections.

FDR was the Greatest President of the 20 century.

I have read biographies in which he is portrayed as tender, human and respectful of others, particularly blacks.

Other stories and gossip tell me that he was unfaithful to wife Eleanor, and that he said some foolish racist things.

He also made the mistake of attacking the Supreme Court, and these judges did not like him too much.

FDR was a great friend of Latin America and got lots of political support and materials for the second world war in that region.

FDR followed the advice of Bismark of being very patient for political developments, You can not do what you want but you have to wait for the "developments" and the favorable time.

I wait here for more historical information about the developmente of US Elections, the behaviour of States, foreign policies during Elections, the Ethnicity or Racism or these Elections, Demographies, etc...

Thanks a lot, US News and World Report. You are a magazine of Intelligence and Quality.

Borrowing the Mantle

Its a little difficult to see McCain as TR but not as absurd as seeing Obama as Abraham Lincoln.Someone should really tell Al Gore to retire that idiocy

TR would shun McCain like Goldwater did

Roosevelt's career is pretty much the opposite of McCain's. Teddy Roosevelt used the office of the presidency to help average Americans against the abuses of trusts, monopolies and tycoons of the Guilded Age. In our times McCain has sided against common Americans for the benefit of lobbyists, big oil, Bush's cronies, and Cheney's war profiteers. McCain as a reformer is a joke and McCain using Teddy Roosevelt's name is an insult to a great president. Teddy would certainly dismiss phony McCain just as Goldwater shunned corrupt McCain after the Keating episode.

Roosevelt's Age

TR was 42 years of age when he assumed the presidency, not 40.

McCain VS Obama

One smokes grass the other kicks ass. "Who you going to call" at three in the morning and it better not be ghost busters!
